If things were to go rather OTL those lakes in America would helpt the Mormons/Deseret quite a lot
Yep!
Wait a minute.... What happened to the Caspian and the Aral? Also, why none in Europe or Arabia?What's up with all those Pacific Islands? And does it look like the Baltic sea is blocked off? Why is the Black Sea disconnected from the Meditteranean?
Yes, I noticed the Caspian see issue to, Dax! Who evere did the map should add the Caspian Sea back on.
The map stays as it is.
The Caspian and Aral were removed to create a bit of unexpected changes in the world. If we are adding lakes around the world, we kinda have to take some away otherwise everyone would develop and that would be boring. The Pacific islands were increased in size to enable the 3 main groups in the Pacific to stand a chance at developing rather than face what they did in OTL.
Not sure if it should be disconnected or not actually, I'll ask FP.
Baltic and Black seas being cut off was unintentional, probably just how the base map was.

OK
So, looking at this I'm definitely interested (probably with the Scythians or some Siberian people).
I think that a good starting place would be a biome map of the world, showing which areas are impacted and how by the new lakes.
Then, if someone is especially ambitious a topographical map would also be helpful to see where the natural borders (rivers and mountains) go in this world.
Was working on a biome map a while back, I'll pick that up again soon. And yes, topographical map I will definitely have to look over to see if current lake placements are okay, which I think they roughly are. It will also help determine exact shorlines of lakes. But yeah. I'll get some maps done soon ish if I can. Glad you're interested!
