"Our game has biomes, so lets randomly fill the land with them in blob shapes instead of placing them logically according to terrain rules like proximity to water/rivers."

"Oh, and make sure all the metal ores, fish, and other resources are just fucking randomly placed all over the map... Oh, and lets not only do that but also never check and see if the cave-in mechanics makes 90% of the ores unobtainable or a net-loss."

The two devs literally only just added oceans despite large boats being in the game for a few worlds already.

Before anyone asks how the game plays, i'll tell you now: It's been the exact same for 6 game worlds and despite more added content every week... The game has remained completely the same. Everyone gets their bot-alts setup, and in 2 months the game is UNPLAYABLE because infinite stat gain is a sacred cow the devs refuse to slaughter despite it being the literal brain cancer holding the game back.

Oceans don't form lakes.

All planets would have rivers that flow the way they do on Earth due to basic physics, so unless the physics in this fiction world are supposed to be different, there is no reason for things like rivers to behave unrealistically.

Asia is only more diverse because of its massive size, but as a whole it's basically just a large ugly blob. If the size of a land mass was all that mattered then the ugly Blob that is Africa would be considered more interesting than Europe.

Yes. The whole sense of scale is really jumbled in-game too. In both routes you generally swing along the bottom of the map, cross the sea, and move over to the other nation's capital, but it feels like you're flying through empty space at mach speed and the map is always fairly zoomed in so you can never tell where the fuck anything is. The little towns and settlements are so utterly generic with some even lacking names that they feel totally disconnected from the rest of the world.

It's just a general rule to help with map-making, there's obviously going to be exceptions in special cases. The point is to keep people from making rivers that make no sense on their maps.

Europe isn't a continent either. It literally expands and shares a huge amount of land mass and border with no large body of water separating itself from Asia. It's like a pimple on their ass.

The difference is that the connecting portions between Africa/Asia or North/South America are much, much smaller than the connecting portions of Europe and Asia. Calling Europe and Asia separate continents is like calling East and West United States separate continents.

Actually, since the Panama canal was created, North and South America have been separated.

Imagine if the world was really like this and nobody knew. Imagine one day taking a ship and sailing for months up north past the spring gate and ending up in Hapis, a land bigger than the entirety of Europe.

What would you find there? Would there be people who think Hapis is all that there is, surrounded only by endless ocean and frigid wastes? Imagine exploring that continent and knowing there are dozens more in nestled between concentric circles of ice, growing larger the further you go outwards from our familiar Earth. Think of all the new stuff to discover, the new cultures to visit, the new flora and fauna that could live there. What lies beyond the spring gate? It could take an entire lifetime to find out.

You are completely right. Rivers tend to split in their delta because it's usually rather flat near the coast line. During their travel from the mountains there is pretty much always one "optimal" route the river takes because it has the greatest slope so that's always the way the water flows. In the delta the land is so flat, that muötiple routes are equally sloped, so the river may split down all of them.

Also since the water flows slower in the delta, the river doesn't form its bed down the "optimal" route as fast, so the splits actually have time to form compared to higher up the river.

That's Conan the Barbarian's world. It's supposed to be set couple thousands of years before recorded history. Then some kind of worldquake happened and we got modern continents.

He's trying to make you understand that calling it Mediterranean will generate confusion as "Mediterranean civilization" refers to greeks and Romans and shit.

It's clear your goal post is to focus on the idea that "whites invented civilization" which you think people are trying to negate by saying Egypt and Mesopotamia don't count as Mediterranean.
This is stupid, Egypt and Mesopotamia were civilizations started by brown skin Caucasoids native to those regions who are not all that close to the swarthy Caucasoids native to greece, italy and spain.

It's understandable why this could be construed as nonsensical given how people of the middle east are today, but you have to remember that hundreds of years of backwords islamic ideals (Such as the cleansing of intellectuals) on top of genetic bottlenecking through incest is likely the reason for how a people capable of creating a great civilization could end up having such a low IQ.

Why does Azeroth have such a retarded global climate? Pandaria, southern EK and southern Kalimdor have tropical and hot desert climates. Its like they are near or at the equator instead of south of it.

Yes. it is implying that the final destination of the river is the mountain.

fucking kek okay, thought I was going crazy

Earth used to be one giant continent as well, and then it lso shattered into many different continents without the help of some magic big ass well.
Point is, Blizzard could have handeld the whole "shattering" business more intresting, by making it look like the continents of Azeroth and their respected inland seas look like they've actually formed because of many "cracks" within the large pangea land, that they've used to be a part of, and not have 2 perfectly symetrical rectangle looking lands.

That is clearly Pandaria, and you can see the general outline of Azerothian continents from Argus in Legion, it supports this globe as well as proving that authors are retarded and cannot into geography.

Fair enough, It does seems like lazy world building. But this is a magical event so you can't really compare it to anything in the real world.

prizing fair skin = nigga doesn't have to work in the field, thus he is important
that train of thought existed until fucking industrial revolution in europe

Fun fact: The "Azeroth" you see from Argus in legion is literally just the vanilla map. Its missing a ton of places that were added after, such as Quel'Thalas, Gilneas, and the updated Azshara from Cataclysm. They just hid most of this with clever cloud placement. That globe from Wrath is no longer canon, as said by the devs themselves.

(Paris, by contrast, was designed solely and literally to efficiently kettle protesters, rioters and mobs into submission by gangs and later the police, and to protect key sites like the Elyssee in case people got confused as to whether they were actually masters of their own destiny or uppity slave labor, it's easy to get the two mixed up after all).

Eventually you'll intuit by brute force how a town should be.

I agree, the Duke could really stand to commission some new roads.

because a delta is formed if there's a flat area that allows the spread of a river as it reaches sea level and widens/splits out as it pleases
the mechanics of a river are largely defined by gravity, so when that force is neutralized (nowhere to tumble down when you're at 0 feet above sea level) it's a distinctly different behavior from what we think of as rivers

On the contrary, they keep fighting over India and Africa, it changes hands every 5 minutes. The population there is turned into slaves while they pillage their resources.
