    If you change the direction of plate 8 you might also want to move the 8/5 fault line to the west, into the ocean unless you want to split the continent apart.

    I'm not sure if islands should be located only near the fault lines. But I'm ok with it. Geologically, yes it look like Iceland but the climate and social aspects are going to be very different. Just getting there looks complicated. The main currents are several hundred kilometers away. And I don't know about the winds yet but I think it could be colder.

    12: ok, it doesn't change much anyway.

    9: no i think we are fine without a new plate

    Thurlor: I was thinking the same thing


    By a clean copy, you mean a map without false islands and with just the landmasses? Yes I could do that.

    Don't forget that you can have island chains anywhere on a plate if there's a hotspot underneath. If you push the left edge of plate 2 a bit farther left, you could explain those islands nicely with a hotspot under the SE island.
