Mountain Placements and Weather, Climate, and Biomes.

I’m workshopping a custom planetary map for a war game, and wanted critiques on the placement of mountains. I’m looking to be better informed on what kind of biomes and weather patterns I would be looking at based on what I’ve put on paper so far. I think I can deduce that the upper continent would likely be very arid and inhospitable, and that things like storms and the ocean would be very intense.

The planet had an incredibly violent geological past, hence the mountains and volcanic island chains.

Locals have adapted to living in harsh condition. They sustain themselves by growing hardy crops where the land can accommodate, or in greenhouses. They do herd hardier grazing animals or hunt local fauna. They extract many raw earth materials for toolmaking, sustaining their old colonial era tech and trading. Tech wise, they have a moderate domestic industrial base and have a small cottage space travel industry they largely use for the aforementioned trade.

The wargame this is for is BattleTech. Went with the mono-continent to make movement simple and get those harsh environs to make combats interesting. It’s a little harsh rock that’s looked over by the rest of humanity, and my players are going to help ruin that for them or help them preserve their independence.
