[@Raylah] Maybe so, but every human alive right now comes from the womb of a single mother, our ancestral "Eve". So give or take 3-4 mates (('m just compeltely guessing) for said human ancestor, that's about 5 people whose genetic codes we share to one extent. And at leats one of them is an incredibly prominent one as it was the only female gene in that. Honestly, 12 people should be more than enough for a wide variety of genetic materials, as long as you doN't shy away from poligamy :lol

And true, I did say humanoid. And I did expect animal races, just not for everyone to make them haha. I figured people would jump at making lizardman or elves or whatnot, but I was also hoping we'd get like bunny people and all that. And I mean, we already have a diverse cast so I'm fine. I don't mind having all these animal races, but then I would've critiqued Odin's orginal idea even harder XD [s]jk I loved your idea but still[/s]

Also, here is the blank map!

Since you have not explored anything, you don't know how anything looks like, what the geography is and what the biomes are. Just pick a spot randomly on the map and once you do I'll tell you all where you started ^^

Also keep in mind the little scale at the bottom right. This is a big map, the whole Continent (according to tectonic paltes at least) is roughly the size of mainland Europe across, minues the big-ass channel separating the two parts. And before you ask, this isn't the entire world, I deliberately wanted to find something relatively small and contained for us to play on without having to adjust to mind boggling distances ^^

Edit: [@Odin] In the end I did use the map generator you sent me. It making biomes, and more importantly heightmaps for me is a great boon. Maybe one I made myself would be more "realistic", but this makes it so much quicker haha
