    Thankyou ... my idea was to go into regional mapping after , I nderstand that there is way more detail in the western world part than the eastern , but to addd lot of detail to east, south and west would require too much time now .

    for the mediterranean type of sea I was thinking of the following modifications :

    Changes :

    1 the british style island changed and converted in a more broken area that follows perhaps better the geology of the region?
    2 the southern west ocean opening has a secondary entrance channel added eventually for a different choke point?
    3 the shape of the Mesia western region the small pelasgian isles the sort of east side of the inner sea is changed into perhaps a ore interesting area?
    4 the upper northern sea is enlarged and so creates more choke point areas and eventually larger distance between shores ?

    what you think of those changes?
    I added more for strategical and aestethic reasons , but aestethics should win over the second in case.

    My 2 cents: I like the original better than the modified. But as said, i like that some things seem....recognizable.

    Oh...and regional maps for this world-map would be awesome. I like that. I hope you start with your "Mediterranean" aka the "Europe" part. After that your "Middle East", then "China and Japan". As you can see, i have this all figured out already (i'm an enthusiastic world-builder and pen&paper roleplayer...just to give you all the information ^^ )

    I liked the bigger, more compact "British Island". I also like the "only one way into the Mediterranean sea" better than the more broken up second version. What i do like better in the new version is the Greece/Turkey look...the big island on the far right and the more broken up "Greece"/Land-fingers.

    So in a "best world" scenario (no pun intended ) you would merge those two maps with those first two elements staying from the old map and the last element from the newer version. But again, that's me.

    Hmm. I like almost everything about the second version more, except the 'British' islands. Loved the first version of that.

    Thanks I am nit satisfued either by the british island look ... I dont want to look too much like britain . But also I found unnatural the shape and unrelated to the general look of the west coast as is more rugged and carved... I generally like the other changes but not yet sure of the second channel to west ocean ... at the moment I turned into a salty sandy multyislandic carved path wich should be kind of a sandy dune set of islands and water inlets with a peculiar look similar to the brazilian Lençóis Maranhenses area... but the problem is still that left island or peninsula ... brainstorming a new shape ...

    Here I tried yet a new change shape for that problematic area to the west coast .
    What u think of that new island shape?

    I also added a slight change to the second west ocean opening .

    Ok I finally redid all the little parts I wanted to correct in the main map and I think I am pretty satisfied now, unfortunately the rest of the world has not the same attention as Aerdea continent, but that would require another year of work I guess...

    Lol I broke it again ... this time7 I got rid of the Turkey looking region and turned into an island thus so linking with the Parvum sea.
