Okay, I've been drawing maps for a while but I only just came across the cartographersguild and so I'm very new. I need some help. I'm trying to find information that will make my maps very realistic. I am currently drawing a landscape map of a large chunk of land on the planet Nord. Weather patterns, climates, habitats, human life and tectonic and geological functions are similar if not the same of that of earth. Does anyone have any advice on measuring distances, correctly assuming climates in an area, proportions, mountainous terrain (and how it could affect local climate), how far one can travel on foot, on horseback, and so on and so forth. Can anyone help me with that?
