Continental Geography and Regions WIP

[BobDaBuilder]

My apologies in advance for what will be a very very crude map by the standards of the fine work of the people in this guild here, but I wanted to make sure that I'm on the right track when it comes to natural features and geography for my overall continent.

First things first, I will admit that the map in question is a tribute to probably the best ever RTS game I ever had, and with the basics covered, I built it up from there. So, if there's any questions about the shape... yeah...

So here is the rough map with no names on it, just to make it easier to see the features themselves:




OK, as one may have gathered, it is a Southern Continent. The overall area size is between North America and Africa in size. The planet in question is a little smaller than Earth's.

It is also intended that the central region of the map is meant to be less detailed as compared to the rest of the area, it is relatively unexplored for story purposes, other then knowing that there is just forest and a very large mountain in the centre that serves as a navigational point.

As a guide:
Brown - Mountains
Dark Green - Forests,
Light Green - Temperate Regions
Dark Yellow - Deserts
Lighter Yellow - Shrublands
Pink - Dusty Outback
Reds - Wet Tropical areas (I'm aware that there does seem to be a little contradiction in regards to one of the areas)
Purple - Very Windy areas
Dark Greenish-Blue - Swampland
Light Blue - Boreal
White - Tundra


I had decided to do the 10 regions (well, 11, but as noted, the central area is a bit of a mystery to those in the world for various reasons) seperately in order to best understand the geography from a local point, before eventually piecing it together to the larger continent. (Though I do have to admit there is a lack of rivers that go in between countries.)

What I want to know is if I'm on the right track with my geography before I can give it a try making it look more map like? I will admit some work on more realistic coasts and adding islands will need to be done.
