Fractional Terrain settings

nestor

I am trying to get Fractional terrains to make me a map where there are three large continents arranged in almost a clover like pattern with a sea where the three come together. On the other side of the globe a large volcanic archipelago that runs from pole to pole.

so it is basically earth, with Europe, Asia and Africa with a Mediterranean type sea, but where the Americas are just a volcanic vertical line of islands.

what settings do i need to fiddle with.

the campaign I am writing is a Empire type setting, based loosely on Rome. So I kind of want the same sort of continental set up.

thanks

Well nestor - you need to use the terrain painting tools (see below graphic) to first draw out your map - then afterwards you can tweak it. I'm really not sure about what specifically you are asking for at this point - so I can only suggest at this point to draw everything out first with your terrain tools - then tweak it using the more specialized settings. The Fractal Terrains manual spells out exactly how to go about painting your terrain. I hope this helped in some way.
