Latest maps
As usual, a work in progress.

Mollweide projection:
Goode homolosine projection:
orthographic projection, north:
orthographic projection, south:
Climate:

Note that the planet has a low axial tilt, so the climates run into each other The climates should (I hope) be fairly self explanatory.
Comments?

Re: Latest maps
How did you create that Mollewide projection? And the other non square projections?
I can't comment on climate either as I don't have a reference key.
But I like the work you've done, it looks pretty good.

It's a NASA program that you can download free - see the link in the resources linked in my sig. (It's called g.projector.)Yezhan Seru wrote:How did you create that Mollewide projection? And the other non square projections?

I'd still like to see/find the colour code key for your climates if one can be provided.

Re: Latest maps
Dark red is tropical rainforest.
There is no seasonal or monsoon rainforest due to the low axial tilt.
The orange is a climate with no exact equivalent. It's savanna-like, but with year-round rainfall. (But not quite dry enough to be steppe.)
The east coast mid-green is humid subtropical.
The tan/beige is steppe and the yellow is desert. (Simplified with hot and cold combined.)
The west coast graded greens are warm, cool, and cold marine.
The purple is continental.
The lavender is tundra.
And the white is ice cap.

Re: Latest maps
Seems fairly straightforward. By the way, given the size of the Oceans, won't storms on this world have the potential to reach a pretty frightening level?Daistallia wrote:Dark red is tropical rainforest.

Re: Latest maps
This might have been asked (ages) before -- or maybe I'm confusing you with someone else -- but isn't that map one of the Earth in a previous geological age? Permian/Triassic, maybe?

Triassic Earth:
So no, the OP's maps are not an old configuration of Earth. However, I do see where you're coming from because the middle north continent reminds me of North America, and the middle south west continent reminds me of a squashed Africa.
Re: Latest maps
Precisely. And I do remember someone aaaaages ago posting maps of a conworld that were basically those of the Earth from the Carboniferous (or something), so I didn't know if this was a reincarnation of that or a different project completely.
Different project completely. Okay.
Different project completely. Okay.

The maps were derived in part from a manipulated current map of Earth with a higher sea level, particularly the Americas.
