We could do something like this as well

I think I like that arrangement more, though I feel like the upper cold area should be raised a bit more, maybe to the bottom of the lake?

I still prefer the desert to be more centralized, because a band like that doesn't make sense because there should at least be some rivers running through it.

Ok here's my proposal.



The colours all mean the same thing and I'll explain the random pink later as its more of an aside thought.

I made the cold region smaller because when I saw it in the rough final draft the frozen tundra seemed a bit extensive IMO.
So with that being done, I extended the boreal region upwards since that would work as functional long winter mild summer region without it being frozen wasteland.
While it is more than possible for deserts to form long bands through a continent, I personally felt that was a bit extensive for this continent. So since deserts are also formed by the rain shadow effect I mentioned earlier I placed it in a centralized location that wasn't too close to any other bodies of water and where we wouldn't run any rivers. The shrubland around the desert is to show the gradual transition from the temperate region to desert.
This is also why I replaced a lot of the southern land with the tropical climate. The gradual transition from cold to hot works so that in the event we add another continent that is more southern than this current one, it will start from tropical and go back to cold for the southern pole.

The brown lines were mountain chains. I realize they're not climate regions but I needed to show the southern one for the purpose of explaining why there was a sudden desert in the lower middle of the continent and the northern one was me just experimenting with plate tectonics since that lake up there in the north is kinda huge as if it were two continental plates coming together....>.> It can be taken out since its not vital or anything.

The purple was an aside thought of a location that I thought would be really good for marshland since there are a lot of smaller lakes in that specific area. Just a side thought really.

tropical islands are a must

That's more like it, this is what I was waiting to see.

Also if a body of water isn't to your liking we could always shrink it/move it/remove it.

It's glorious!

Alright, I'll create two maps(a lore map and geographical map) of this design and then we'll get to work on cultures and races.

Yayyyyyyyyyy my favourite part.

Whoops, one more thing. Where do we want rivers? I just doodled some major rivers in but if you want any gone or want some in just let me know



Also note, due to me f*** up a bit, the northern polar region is actually much smaller as Kiki wanted. I just kinda screwed up a bit and will fix it once we decide on rivers.

I want a fertile river delta where the desert river runs from that lake

will do

hmm Maybe a major river running from northwest to the east somewhere up in the boreal section.

Loving the swamp!!!

Do we need to account for woodland/tropical forest as well?

On the more period-esque fantasy map I'll draw in major forests and what not, so yeah.

As for your river, would you like it to run from the ocean? or perhaps a mountain top spring?
