Here is a (big) map of my conworld. It is an in context map from a local atlas. It is a cold, dry and resource poor world and the only civilized area is on the far north-west coast of the supecontinen.

Very detailed, I love it! I like how you made it in the conworld's language and script as well, very interesting.

The map looks nice, but the highland in the southeast is unrealistic.
Did you use Fractal Terrains or any other fractal map generator?
If you want to create a conworld with Earthlike geology (plate tectonics), I suggest not to use fractal map generators, but rather make a map by yourself.

Yes, I know about the problem with fractal terrain, but in this case, the result matched what I wanted (of course I modified it a bit, but just a bit).

It is a supercontinent born from the gathering of three smaller continents. The central area is the remnant of a sea - basically a large salt desert.

The south-eastern highland is not the result of plate tectonics but of a large volcanic episode 5 millions years ago caused by an impact event at the antipodal point. Of course this basically exterminated everything above the size of a cockroach (humans came later). The area is still volcanically active.

Did I mention this world is a lovely place with a balmy climate and a diverse wild life ? [:P]
