North America had some of the most interesting geography IMO
>Multitudes of different climates & terrains
>Some of the most fertile land on earth
>Navigable rivers that spread almost throughout the entire continent
>Different kinds of mountain ranges that make for beautiful landscapes and interesting cultures
>Tons of land allowing for bigger empires

The lands around the Aral Sea and Amu Dayria and Syr Dayria. Honestly most of Eurasia, especially Hungary too

Heard that Venice has implemented a daily fee system for anybody to go into the city, including native Italians.

Everyone says Westeros is based on. England but I disagree.

It's riffing on people who complain about geography shaping cultures in fantasy stories being too cliche.

>will eventually rival the lord of the rings and the foundation trilogy
Ain't nobody heard of this shit. Still I like ooga booga stories. Quest For Fire is probably the best I've read. Clan of the Cave Bear was decent but the rest just becomes mommy porn. Is this one better?

>When a one-way time tunnel to Earth’s distant past, specifically six million B.C., was discovered by folks on the Galactic Milieu, every misfit for light-years around hurried to pass through it. Each sought his own brand of happiness. But none could have guessed what awaited them. Not even in a million years.
Wait no you trucked me what is this. Stolen ooga booga valor.

Pre-eruption Thera is straight out of D&D.

Australia was wasted on Abos. If white men had been there in earlier times it would've been the Rome of the southern hemisphere.
>>
>>25354921
Not necessarily, but it can certainly motivate a power towards focusing on the navy in certain situations.
>>
>>25357384
Sometimes for woke events here they try to use 'traditional Aboriginal flavours' in dishes, like the native berries and herbs, but it's all disgusting and bitter and lacks substance because they were too busy eating each other to cultivate any produce. Really makes you wonder

Then white people would've lived ghe same life that abos did. Asians, orientals and semites taught you civilisation. Europe was simply lucky to be an appendage to Asia

It's a real pity that Robert E Howard didn't construct a coherent setting for Conan, based on actual history.
Instead he bandies place-names like Cimmeria, Scythia and Hyperborea with no regard for their real locations.
>>
>>25354262
I don't know, but I based my fantasy world on an unturned map of a real world location and no one out of the 50+ readers have so far batted an eye
>>
>>25354465
i went there during covid and it was paradise with only european tourists

unless there's a world war I'll never be able to experience that again
