have you thought about adding Greenland? Did you see my edit in the last post?
Most of the green you are seeing is hills. There is also dry forest along the coast which I have simulated with forest over plains.Originally posted by Yoda Power
edit-isn´t Mexico too green?
Probably not. In the North America projecion I am using the far north is very distorted, Greenland runs diagonally. To really make it look right I think I would need to do a seperate projection for arctic Canada and fuse it on top of the rest of North America, then position Greenland free hand. This is where laziness comes into play; I'm itching to give this map a go and I want it to be done.Originally posted by Yoda Power

I am using a very detailed map of North America's ecoregions, this is part of the reason this map is taking so long. I really wish it was possible to put jungle over plains and desert and forest over desert; there are many ecoregions in North America that would be best expressed this way.Originally posted by Yoda Power
Mexico-
There are no mountains on the Yucatan pensula.
There should´nt be jungle in other places than Yucatan. The rest of mexico is very dry, desert and plains instead of jungle
Rocky Mountains-
With all that floodplan its going to be metropolis paradise. I suggest that you put more mountains in(keep some of the flood plain though).
Alaska-
Need more mountains and hills.
East Coast-
From Virginia and down the coast line has lot of swamp. Since there is no swamp in civ, I suggest you put forest and jungle instead(a mix between them).
Texas-
Add some desert, you will need it when placing resources.
Missisipi-
I think the west side should have more plains.
keep up the good work
Yeah, I did that more for strategy reasons, I wanted to make it hard to colonize, otherwise the Mexico City starting location would have a huge advantage over the others. I made all of lower Central America and Venezuela jungle to slow them down. If it turns out to not be an issue when I play test it, I may change it to be more accurate.Originally posted by Yoda Power
one small suggestions. Venezuela isn´t all jungle, the coast is more like plain and forest.
