no definitely not a waste. didnt mean to come off that way. i was just thinking about how to help you with your heightmap and came across that neat tool. this definitely helped you as a mapper in general though, you solved some water level stuff and all that. and you produced an awesome realistic earth map. keep 'er up amigo-
There is nothing wrong with hand-crafting something with perfection! I myself am overly meticulous, so I know what it's like spending many hours on diminishing returns. Anyway, your map looks pretty good to me.
If I'm to offer one critique though — I'd say that Asia seems to be stretched too high on the northern part. Looking at your side by side real map and your map pictures, it looks like Alaska should be on roughly the same latitude as... well, the "Alaska" on Asia's side.

I think that is very good!
:) Good job!
I would never have the patients to do something like that lol.
don't know where you took that map fom, but the Quebec territory doesn't look that way AT ALL. Beside this, it's a great map.
Where can I download this map? I would like to use it to make an 8 player melee map for playing with some friends.
@Quartaroy: Go
I too would like a copy of this map if anyone has it, PM'd the author, haven't gotten a response.
Would like one copy too.. looks nice
