Making Regional Maps of a World Map

[Azélor]

Great information here. Glad I joined. I have one question on the world map sizing and making smaller detailed maps. I am planning to use Ascension's tutorial which has a square canvas. Would a rectangle canvas better represent the oblate ellipsoid that Earth is when creating our own fantasy world? Will I cause more problems using G.Project or other tools?

It is better to use an equirectangulatr map (aka platte carré) at a 2 for 1 ration. Most softwares use this as their default projection so you can project it to another projection later.

Great information. I tried the 1:1.6182 Golden Ration approach, but I see I put too much though into it.
