    I thin k we still have a couple of things to go through before mapping. But it's ok if it's just for reserving plots.
    We do have all the information (rivers?) for some areas but not for the whole map.

    Things do to:
    Climates (working on it)
    Rivers ?
    And ideally a better elevation map. I am confident I can finish it today. Except for the largest continent.


    *and just in case, are you sure it's the right map? I see some weird effects near Blackchakram's plot.


    Other informations:

    1- shape of the plot must be rectangular. It is to prevent gaps in the map. Some areas are less interesting but I think it's better to try to incorporate them with the rest of the map than not mapping it at all. The area becomes even les interesting to map if there nothing around it.
    2-The size can be larger than the maximum if it represent a group of islands and most of the area is occupied by water
    Or if the map is located between the polar circle and the pole.

    Yes Blackchakram's plot was chosen before the final alterations you made there, I didn't update his plot though since I didn't realize you altered that area, so it shows what was originally there. I'll fix it in the next map update.

    Also I still disagree with the rectangular idea. I was swimming today and thinking about how world maps are done, and I think that in the end we should just map it together rather than paste and stitch it together. So lets say we finish mapping an entire content and we want a cohesive one, a person would map the continent using the more detailed maps as reference. In any case I think people will tend towards choosing rectangular plots, Where it causes problems is along the edges where they don't have full information. Are people going to map half a country? Or a quarter of a bit of a country simply because their plot includes it because of its arbitrary rectangular shape? What's the next person over going to do with that? It's kind of weird.
