If I recall correctly, this is true, generally. The poles typically are under the domain of the northern/southernmost air cell, so there is going to be prevailing high pressure zone in that region. Now, the caveat is that I would say this only holds if the pole is all land, or all ocean. An...

I can expand on them; as you have been otherwise occupied so too have I. I will elaborate once I am home from work. EDIT: Gryphon, I'll talk to your questions once I am home too.

Map 4: Summer (July) Winds/Pressures Details to come, as with previous.

Map 3, Winter (January) Winds/Pressures. I'll go into detail on this later tonight/tomorrow, but I wanted to get you this much as I said I would.

Map 2, we add lines of Latitude, as well as arrows to denote prevailing wind patterns on an Earth-like world (same rotation speed, direction, etc.)

You are welcome! Look at the first few pages of this thread, I list the resources I used then, and you can always look up "prevailing wind patterns", "climate models", etc. in Google to get useful guide-pictures or other informative sites. And rough is what you shall have! Map 1: Your base map.

Nice work this far! I can take a stab at it later tonight when I'm home from work - I've not the software here to fiddle appropriately. However, nudging from what Gorn already put forward, Id say you go a pretty good start to work from. If you look further back in the thread you can see my...

Is it explained anywhere how the Shi as incorporated into the NCR? I believe the canon has them now incorporated (though it seems they were conquered with broad brushstrokes, rather than anything in story), and I believen Doragon in his story made the case they were still independent, but there...

Nice work Nugax! I'm curious- can you expound the methodology behind how you set up the climates for that tidally locked world? I've only read articles on climate modeling that correspond to a typical, Earth-like world. Also, how would you compare the method in Gimp you just demonstrated to...

Nice work Coen! With regard to the general making of maps, I have some advice if you want to make a well grounded (not necessarily a good looking, or fantastic, or whatnot map, but a realistic in that it follows terrestrial models). You need to make the map of the entire world. Back when I...

Here's one I made for VT45 way back in the days of college when I had more time. https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showpost.php?p=1649769&postcount=249 Might be a few others in that thread. Basically I'd echo the others relative to the terrains. A good topographic map is critical...

Ought the 'Narraganset' River be the Pawcatuck? I know that apparently the former was an old name for the latter, but not by the time of RI's charter. I ask, because as a Rhode Islander and reluctant Yanquistani, I have an interest in my locales. So far I think this is an awesome TL, and...

Mikegold, this is absolutely fantastic. I eagerly look forward to more.

A cheat around As You Know Bob! Precisely. As we all apparently aren't working from the same start point relative to the ability of the AE, speaking in such general terms are the safest. Regardless of what the machines themselves can do, they are mechanical devices that are powered by some...

Or even animal power connected to a drive train of some sort. Though I wouldn't think that electrical power would be something to truly envision here, as it seems to be getting ahead of the POD. The other theories and technologies surrounding electricity seem to indicate that you wouldn't...
