I get significant enjoyment out of it and it feels like the builder is putting effort  and attention in cultures.I'm a geographer. My head explodes when I see unrealistic geography that has no explanation. I understand in a world with magic some amazing things should happen, even some magical microclimates I can accept... I'm a fan of Mystara which has a hollow planet and pockets of microclimates all over the place. It works for me because there are explanations I can buy with a world as magical as it is.But river networks that are drawn contrary to how river networks are... such as a river that comes out of the mountains and then in the middle of the plains hundreds of miles from the coast sudden split into a handful of larger flows heading in random directions across the continent... *explode!*And no, I don't need to see evidence of plate tectonics, although someone who puts in the effort shows to me they know how an Earth-like world should work.</blockquote>
