So ive finally after much procrastination decided to start working on my map again, this is only one of 3 main continents and a island chain im planning to draw, i still need to make a height, political, biome and river/cities version of this one before i head onto the others, any suggestions or ideas would be much aprecieted, currently my plans are to make most of the north east a mountain chain, and from medeterainian southern coasts to frigid frozen norths, the whole world is a lot smaller than earth and scale or full realism arent my goals as this is only my second attempt after i gave up on the first one, any tips on how to avoid procrastination and burnout are also greatly aprieciated

World building wise it lets us import ur drawings into landmass, scientifically tell u climate, crops, soil, habitability, mountains etc, has a timeline feature, has easy to add factions and, commanders, people, lore etc and 3d and globe features. Battle Simulations and animations as well.

U can do any projection of the map, turn it 3d or globe for any angle, u can use lasso tool to rapidly add empires edit them add cities etc and then export.

I saw this app called Map Effects, which is for world building. It seemed very neat and streamlined but upon looking its like a game. You buy whatever you want (regional, city, etc) but only get starter items and have to buy more like downloadable content. To me it seemed like a rip off

The colours aren't representative of any exact thing, but they work in my brain as either height, vegetation presence, humidity, or snow presence indicators. The planet turns West to East and has a similar temperature to Earth, maybe warmer. The tectonic plates exist but how they work remains a bit of a mystery for me as well.

I just thought I would share my homebrew map. I've been running tabletop campaigns on this map for more than a decade and have hundreds of pages dedicated to the history and theology of the world. It's constantly growing and evolving. There are more continents now, but this is the main landmass where my campaigns take place. Seemed a shame to only share it with 4 or 5 guys that I DM for, so here it is.
Criticism and advice welcome.

I would like advice on how to make my map more realistic. Image one is the original map with names, second image is no names, third image I deleted an entire continent because I didn't like it there.

Any advice or ideas are welcome! I want it to be more realistic.

I have this svg / png of my world in equirectangular format, but id like to be able to calculate distance and area accurately, since my world is actually a globe in earth size. Anyone know any tool or software I could use? Preferably free.

Super Happy with how it came out!
