    Uh oh ! If the new latitudes are subdivided by 15° (9x15=90) then I am clearly moved to the north by some 10°.
    And that means that I would be f...d with the great southern desert which can no more be there while the northern reaches become basically edges of the polar cap. Warlin's lizards won't survive such a cataclysmic climate change

    I might not be seeing the problem - but it looks close to similar to me.

    6x15=90. That might be the problem.

    Edit - I thought I'd add - we have no idea what the climate is.
    We could be in a very warm era.
    Local conditions could greatly affect weather and climate.
    Ocean currents and volcanic activity. Who knows.

    And we don't know what the tilt of the axis is, and as such how much sunlight coverage there is.
    What the rotation and proximity to the Guild sun... we could all be living on a Mercury-like world right now
    Or conversely... pluto-like

    Or, worse yet, the Guild sun could be a red giant and we'd like be toasting away in the chromosphere....

    Well it is similar (in a way) and yes 9x15 is nowhere near to 90 - but my comment was based on the correct 6x15 .
    So the difference is around 10° and this moves the frontier between the Hadley and Ferrel atmospheric cells (where deserts are) some 1000 km South off my coast. But that is no major problem - I ll only have to eliminate the desert which just became a temperate, humid and fertile region.

    I've been limited on keeping up this month with family visitors and other things but if there is anything left I'd like to participate. I can't promise I'll be complete by the 20th so plan for a cloud there, just in case, but I definitely want to do it.

    Would a newcomer be able to participate too? If there's space to fit one in, that is.

    My kngdoms are Azuredawn, which implies we have a distant, but very hot blue giant keeping us nice and warm, but not too hot. My original file had a tilt of 17.24 degrees...I love imagining blue-white light instead of yellow-white light.

    Yes. Definitely Jax. I'll have one of the new lands ready for you.
    If you're not ready to start today, then I'll give #44 to SrgDark and pencil you in for #45, which is being worked on as we speak.

    Yes, absolutely SrgDark. You will be country #44, which I'll post to page 1 of this thread. Should be ready in a few moments. edit - just posted it.
