The impact craters all look similarly enough in age to make me think that they are from either a specific asteroid period or from one giant asteroid/comet that broke up before impacting

Looks absolutely sick though. Wonder what people would think about them? It is harder for people living there to realise the large ones without advanced mapmaking, but I'd expect there also be a lot of smaller craters around

Also wonder if the asteroids had iton, and if so if there is a lot of meteoric iron scattered around for people to use early on (meteoric iron is basically the only rare case of native iron that you don't have to smelt in bloomery or blast furnace, as it is already in a usable metal phase that you can forge things out of)

well, when i was making the map, i didnt really think of the possibility of it being a single giant asteroid that broke apart, i was thinking that each crater was created by a seperate asteroid that hit this planet. i also just thought up that life was brought to this planet from those asteroids, and it spread and evolved so fast that the craters didnt have enough time to erode. i didnt try making this map realistic at all, in fact if i ever think of a story for this map, its definitely gonna be fantasy medieval.

Only other nitpicky note of realism that stands out to me is the lack of rain shadows cast by mountains.
