Tectonics? Like it or not?

I like the idea of tectonics, but I feel it needs more work. Having mountain ranges and more choke points is great, but thats ruined when you get islands made of grassland and plains right up into the poles, and there are generally too many plains for my liking.

Launch a Terra map with Low Seas and Tropical climate, then quit. Create a new Tectonics custom game and your Terra options will be in the "greyed out" boxes

Nicely figured out. That worked, thanks

From the maps I've played so far, I have to say I like it. There's a lot of variation, which is something that's always good. I also enjoy the strategic elements of the chokepoints, mountain ranges and unsettleable regions. 60% and 70% water seem to produce the most aesthetically pleasing results from my point of view.
