Welcome to the next video in my worldbuilding guide series for creating an Earth-like planet! This video is focused on mapping global biomes and vegetation. At the end, I include a deep dive into the biomes we map, and the blog post version of this step is split into two parts with the deep dive into biomes being separate. Both are linked below.

DISCLAIMER: If you are looking to create a fantasy world in a few hours, this guide is not for you. If you are looking for good value between time spent and realism in your fantasy world, this is probably not for you either. This guide goes way more in depth than most other worldbuilding guides to a level that is objectively not necessary. However, “necessary” is not the point here. If you want to understand WHY your world is the way it is and let your world come alive as you slowly mold it, then this guide is for you.
To already contradict my disclaimer, the reason I go to this level of detail in creating my fantasy worlds is not just because I enjoy it. Things like geography and climate have a huge impact on civilization. Knowing about the world around your people is the first part in understanding them.

I love the way you handle updates/fixes to your videos, if you have any advice for how I could incorporate them, I would be very interested.

The system of splitting things into scrublands, grasslands, and forest/woodlands helped my brain so much! I was struggling with biomes after feeling pretty good setting down my climate regions. Thank you so much for the detail you've put into the video and your guides :)

@madelinejameswrites 6 месяцев назад

I'm so glad this worked for you! It definitely was the way I found to have it make sense for my brain ☺️ thank you so much

@MrVlandus 5 месяцев назад

Wow I really like the intro. Biomes are good to understand from a writers perspective. It's give more content for the writer to add into the story. Love it good job.

@maxwellsimon4538 20 дней назад

The most awesome part about this biome mapping portion is that since it is about vegetation coverage, you can coordinate the colours to get an accurate satellite map!

@madelinejameswrites 20 дней назад

Yes! Which is always a blast

This video made me weirdly fascinated by heaths, since I had always assumed that was just like, an old Welsh or English word for coastal grassland, but when I saw it included in the scrublands section it actually sent me down a rabbit hole of learning about that specific biome... and of course triggered a series of worldbuilding ideas! Excellent video, as always, I get just as excited when I see an update from you as I get when I see one from Artifexian or Biblaridion!

@madelinejameswrites 6 месяцев назад

😂 That's fantastic, heath really is pretty cool! I'm honored to have triggered that research dive! And thank you so much, truly!

@quentenwalker1385 6 месяцев назад

Fantastic series. Would love to see one on animals types generally expected in each biome. And wonder where your initial civilizations would be.

@artworldclub3395 6 месяцев назад

The video provides a clear explanation of the topic with an excellent introduction. It has been very helpful to me, and I appreciate it.

@JustinCycling 4 месяца назад

Amazing video. Thank you for your time researching and sharing this information, very valuable! This definitely inspires my worldbuilding hobby. Kind regards, Justin Bodegraven - The Netherlands

@gregwochlik9233 6 месяцев назад

Nice video, plenty of good information. Thank you for the "academic lecture", thank you for the (tens) of hours of research that went into this video. The officianado's do appriciate it.

@madelinejameswrites 6 месяцев назад

I'm glad, it really is a lot of work and I still have so much I want to learn 😊

@vintagepomegranate2981 6 месяцев назад

Ah, I've finally caught up on all the videos!! I have no idea what to do with my free time now, haha. I am absolutely obsessed with this series and can't wait for the next part :) I'm super excited to place people in the little worlds we've created.

@madelinejameswrites 6 месяцев назад

I'm so glad! I'm working out the process for the people part next! I'm hoping the first video of that part will be ready this month ☺️

@alexkempes1919 6 месяцев назад

What an amazing video!!! It's crazy to see the world slowly coming alive!!

@Bevillia 6 месяцев назад

Another great episode. The slides are a nice touch, especially with how they split the three factors of each biome in an easy-to-read way.

@madelinejameswrites 6 месяцев назад

Oh I'm glad it came across well, thank you!!

@allankokkonen5722 6 месяцев назад

Mata de Araucária ❤ This biome isvery special, because we have tall conifers shading small (sub?)tropical species. Also lots of mushrooms.

@VallelYuln 6 месяцев назад

Very nice! Now I gotta actually split up my continental zones to get the right climates

@ajdogz5088 5 месяцев назад

I'm excited for when you get to ores and minerals. I mostly use artifexian's video about ore deposits, but having stuff written down on your website is quite nice compared to jumping through a video constantly cause my ADHD brain loves to forget things i just heard if something else interesting happens. (Yes, i am diagnosed, btw)

@madelinejameswrites 5 месяцев назад

I have ADHD too so I FEEL you! I'm hoping to get to it once I have a bit of a break

@ajdogz5088 5 месяцев назад

@madelinejameswrites gonna be working on a new world map now that I have a clearer image of what I want it to be, have more knowledge about stuff like geology and earth sciences, all the while finally allowing myself to have some creative liberties to my work and not be overly complicated/realistic when I was using other guides. Magic exists in my world, meaning some stuff can be explained by persistent magical events or relics of the last civilization that was destroyed by a magical cataclysm.

Amazing work. This guide series has honed my focus and sped up the world building process. Thank you and keep up the good work. 👍

@kentario1610 4 месяца назад

You need only mention fungi and ground cover and I'm already thinking about the mushrooing season in late summer and autumn, mmmm... Like an Easter egg hunt with no cheat sheet/someone who hid them and knows where they are. I try to assign specific spots in our favourite forest names so I remember them and my mom really picked up on the place we discovered together and that I cpined hell's circles, because it had so many mushrooms but they were kinda wormy and resembled king boletes so closely that we felt we had to crouch down at every single one, and I estimate there were at least 60, so we were understandably baffled and exhausted. A different new spot is right by aspens, since there's fungi that are symbiotic with specific tree species, like the orange capped aspen bolete! You'd be surprised how hard they can be to spot despite their colour. Okay, that's enough out of me, I'll keep binge rewatchinv as I sew!

@fr.davideynon6984 5 месяцев назад

Just a note: I have been following along, making my own maps following your process (very entertains, BTW); however, I noticed that on your Climate Zone "cheat sheet" showing where biomes show up in various zones, two of the Grass Biomes are missing: Heath and Med Coast Scrubs.

@madelinejameswrites 5 месяцев назад

So the scrub biomes has heath, med scrub, and med coastal sage. Both the scrub and sage show up in the Cs* section. I did forget to include heath though, I have added it now in the blog post version! Thank you for pointing that out!

@GuilhemBrouat 5 месяцев назад

As the rest of the guide, great video! About "garrigue": - "ga" as in "gallery" - "rigue" as in "rigor" but with an audible final "e" pronounced as the "e" in "gallery" Greetings from a place in southern France where garrigue is very present :)

@madelinejameswrites 5 месяцев назад

So like, ga-rig-ore ? Or ga-rig-e?

@GuilhemBrouat 5 месяцев назад

@@madelinejameswrites ga-rig-e ! Sorry, my pronunciation explanation was maybe a bit off, but... I'm french :D

@@GuilhemBrouat 😂 no problem, thank you for the help!

@ronniabati 5 месяцев назад

Would the first civilizations in your world start agriculture in biomes with the most diverse grasses? Assuming that’s where you’d be most likely to domesticate grains and herd animals?

@madelinejameswrites 5 месяцев назад

What I think is most likely, is where agriculture would require the least work (a river valley) and then a climate that is relatively hot. And grassland is what I think would probably fit the best, something a bit arid and hot
