    Well, i think everything i wanted to say has already been said by the others ^^

    Love it, Ilanthar! Especially the landshapes (i was trying to come up with something alternate-earth-y but this is just...as close to perfect as it gets).

    If i can, i'll Rep. you.

    Did you create the symbols on the flags yourself or were you using some resources?
    Thanks Sapiento. I created a few, rearranged or modified some other and took the rest from different sources (some free icons, mostly).

    As others have said before, this looks amazing. Well done.
    Thanks THW !

    Thanks Eilathen . I wanted an alternate earth with large temperate zones. So here it is.

    And since a lot of you are appreciating the flags, here is a flag book where they are only half their original size (in the first post).

    The amount of work is really impressive, there's a real atlas feeling and your imagination for the flags makes me cry. Congrats !

    This is really fantastic. Lond and Sian remind me of broken Eurasia, but with a dirty great cleft in the middle. From the position of the landmasses they follow Earths general pattern, did you start out with that in mind or did they naturally fall like that when you were working on it?
    Again, top work

    Thanks ! Truth be told, there were at least 2-3 versions of the general land shapes before this one. Some, quite different, with polar lands and mainly land around an ocean... But I wanted something with various climates and that could have a good render in different projections (like orthographic), so, with changes and iterations, I ended with this one.

    Ilinthar, that map is so good it actually annoys me that mine don't look that good. I (like everyone else, apparently) LOVE the shaded relief - looks like a completely real world.

    Could I persuade you to elaborate a little more on your technique for "painting" it in? I have no idea what you mean when you say that.
    Also, if you don't mind me asking, how did you design the landmasses? From scratch, or did you start out with FT? This map just looks so "real" to me.
