WIP - (ambitious) World Map of fictious earth-like planet

It's coming along really well pixie

This is great! World maps fascinate me.

Funny how things progress, stall, dwindle and re-ignite...
(warning, post for tectonics freaks)

Almost 5 months ago, I was doing detailed regional maps. They were the first ones to become canon for anything done in the future. In the meanwhile, I was doing history stuff (early civilizations, bronze age) as well, and some more geology to establish mineral rich regions... That was all good, even if a lot was in the backstage and too vague or incomplete to be posted.

Then a bug about my tectonics got to me - some areas I had neglected earlier, roughing it, were now becoming annoying, implausible... impossible. And tectonics weighs on you... So I stalled.

Then there were a few tutorials posted on tectonics. Every now and then, we have a small tectonics surge in here, a few good threads... Kacey and Pagan were working on their worlds, Warlin and Charerg did those valuable tutorials. I got back at it, doing the rock-crunching-invisible-work... Still at it, and it will take a few more months, at least. But it's going well.

So!... following advice from my friend Charerg, I'm posting a few maps in the next days.
Today is 150 Million Years before present:

(a clean map, showing only continental platforms and landmasses)


including boundaries (incomplete in some regions, but not important)

The main things happening before this installment and the 125 Million Years (coming soon) are:
- Krasia is just about stopping it's northeastwards movement, and is going to start feeling a pull towards west - as it's oceanic crust gets subducted.
- Yet, before it does, it will still manage to seed chaos in the Dragoz super plate, breaking it into pieces.
- Acur and Palamb are rifting apart, but Acur is also loosing Dahache peninsula, which will speed northwestwards and collide first with Dragoz.
- The boundary between Kane and Dahache is a mess of subduction sections, as subduction just triggered, it will get even more messy as continental crust from Dahache aproaches.
