Map: Terrains and Resources

[Scaredgirl]

Oh didn't realise.

However maybe we should think of different names for the capitals like you did for death, I like the undead city idea and some others would also be good.

Yes, each capital city will have a unique name.

Here's one example:

Electrum is made using gold and silver. We could have a system when you need to have both a gold mine and a silver mine, and then convert: 1 gold + 1 silver = 2 electrum

Some resources could produce one extra card per turn.

Dimensional gates can be used to teleport from one side of the map to another.

etc.

I see.

In that case, I'm going to assume that 'Plains' is the most bland (and least 'elemental-based') out of the 4 main terrains you have, and thus have a much lesser chance of finding a special rare resource there, no?

If you do happen to have more than 4 resources, you should probably develop the terrains around the 'theme' of an element. Plains, River (or lake/stream/etc., it should be any form of water really), Mountains, and Forests are good alongside Desert, but I think Hills are too similar to mountains/not very 'elemental'-based and should be removed. (Who notices hills anyway? ). The other terrains I thought about were:

-Swamp/Marshes
-"Blighted/Radiated Land"

Also, since a Dimensional Gate is a 'Wonder', I'm going to guess that's not a specific resource/terrain, and is probably something COMPLETELY unrelated to this topic.

"updrafts" upon these areas, you have the ability to reach the overworld.  (the land of air).  Their counterparts of dive points, which is how you get back down.  You may warp from updrafts to their corresponding dive points, but no where else.

"Warp gates" upon these areas, you may warp to the other dimension.  (the land of aether).  They have counterpart warp gates.

"Cave mouths".  Upon these areas, you may travel to the underworld (the land of darkness, death, and earth).  They have corresponding cave mouths down below.

at a glance:
you could add mountains (they have to get the sandstone from somewhere!)
theres tons of life in a swamp!
maybe desert
mountains are huuuge, right?

This is a very rare occasion. I agree with everything you said. That doesn't happen often.

Thanks.

Okay, NOW I'm starting to get what you're going with this.

  - 'River' should technically be called Oasis, unless you're referring to things such as the Nile River and whatnot.

  - 'Craters' should be here, as meteors are both huge objects that are defined by their mass and relation to gravity itself (making an impact on the world of elements). 'Craters' can also work for too, because they're known to contain resources from beyond this realm...

- Valley/Canyons are also good choices for the third one, and imply the idea of crevices within the earth that lead to caves - Valleys/Canyons could be used for the other elements

"updrafts" upon these areas, you have the ability to reach the overworld.  (the land of air). ...

and/or - You can probably add 'Geysers' (small springs noted for their explosive nature, releasing steam/heated water into the air)

...on another note, are we adding more terrains, or are we trying to use the ones that you have listed now? ^^;

[moomoose]

another thought, mountains are composed of (lots of actually?)

Yes, I had Nile in mind when I put River with . It's basically Egypt.

Oasis will be the "special resource" of Desert terrain.

I love that Crater idea. It's fits perfectly to and we will use it for sure. It's not really a terrain though so I don't know what we are going to do about that. We could of course just use Plains and make Crater the special resource.

Valley/Canyons is a good idea, although I was planning on building those using Mountains and Plains or something. I'm no really sure how we can do Valley/Canyons visually speaking. I'll have to think about that.

Sure, we can have Geysers. But those would be special resources or something, not terrains.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Yes, I had Mountains with at first, but then there seemed to be too many Mountains going around.

indeed.
for if youre going to have forest, why not go with jungle too?

I just put in Forest and gave up. It needs others too.

I was thinking maybe because of all it's randomness, would have some kind of weird "random" terrain. I don't know..

Some of those are pretty good actually. But this is a wrong topic for those. I'll start a Capital City name topic later. Actually I might start it right now.
