The Complete Guide To Map Creation
There is an excellent semi-official map guide written by Robert B. Thomas (a.k.a. Sirian), who coded on the map generator himself. You can find it here. However, that guide does not cover all map types available today, including popular ones such as Hemispheres, Fractal and Big and Small. This guide will cover all official maps, so in addition to the 11 different map types not covered in Sirian's guide, feel free to use it as a complementary to the map types described in his guide.
Understanding exactly how each setting in the map generator will impact a world to be created can be both a bit difficult and confusing. For example, there is nothing stating how a Highlands or Shuffle map will turn out without actually trying them out.
