Haven't heard a thing from CG yet.

You didn't have to change Antarctica--it's neither Old nor New World. It's a good start, but the reason I used this Qbam: Basic World Map (V 2.6.) by DinoSpain on DeviantArt is so that when I use Paint on a subpolitical area, I'd have made a fraction of either an empire or an uplift in a more...

Because the Prime Meridian is in Greenwich, which bugs me because I personally see it as tripping at the finishing line. Because Beringia has been a sea, then a bridge, then back to sea, on and on and on and on--seriously, make up your mind! Because Australia is the most arid continent on...

Because, due to my poor judgment of distance, I don't know what 1350 miles look like, or the distance between Australia and Antarctica cut in half. In short, those two changes are something I CAN'T do.

Didn't I just say that I'm NOT looking for an environmental answer?

The map we'll be using for this question is right here: Basic World Map (V 2.6.) by DinoSpain on DeviantArt This is for an alternate Earth project that I've been working on. If you find the map overly detailed, let me explain. I use Photoshop, so the political and subpolitical boundaries are...

That was a longbow, not a composite.

Back home, the recipe for the composite bow is as follows: Horn (usually water buffalo, gemsbok, oryx and ibex) Wood (usually mulberry and spruce because bamboo is a GRASS, not a woody plant) Sinew (usually from the hindquarters of wild deer or domestic hooved mammals)...

The boreal forest, or taiga, exists only on subpolar latitudes, where the climate is too extreme for broad-leaved angiosperms to take root, thus making the taiga an exclusive conifers-only club. In an alternate Earth, there is a clear ecological distinction between the two types of trees...

This is serious.

Was there a point to this over-the-top melodrama?

The alternate scenario is simple--just get rid of the province of Ontario, thus connecting the Great Lakes to Hudson Bay. Now let's focus on just one region of the United States, the Midwest. Without the existence of Ontario or the Great Lakes, would we see a tornado-free northeastern...

Let us say that, in the future, some scientists have created satellites capable of something that seems science fiction for now — punching the walls of the universe to study an alternate reality. By that scenario, some hundreds of “alternate Earths†from hundreds of alternate universes...
