Hi I need some help recently I made a mod which converts a map into a desert or ice field depending what you want. I just want to know which one you would prefer just forget about goods commerce movement etc.

Fire or Ice, I guess is the choice here.

I voted Ice, because it's more unusual, except for Hoth (another of George Lucas's single environment planets). But desert is more practical. Arrakis--Dune--Desert Planet...

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And will suffice.

Ice looks more impressive.

I like hot if it is caused by the human (eg. pollution and some stuff) but dont know why nature just looks more related to ice

I guess because we had an ice age a few thousand years ago and we are heving hot because of the humanity now.

Go and start a new thread with that opinion in the OT-Forum. They'll like you a lot.

I'd also prefer an ice-age in the game.

Depends on the basis of the scenario, which one you can get the best story line and game play from

Looks like an icefield then. Any way it is as easy to mod desert as it is ice.

well, i'm not sure what you mean by the question or for what purpose you'll gonna need that.
but desert can be terraformed earlier in the game (though i really wonder why, i mean, you would just need some heating to terraform icefields )

Ok here goes the code is written and form the first turn random map tiles start to change to ice/desert tiles after a period of about 300 turns the map is turned to a ice field/desert. it is part of the graphical natural disaster bit I am making for my mod I all reedy have volcanoes, impact creators and I am working in on earth quakes tonight.

Do you really want me to answer this one
You know how big the code would be to put that in the game plus move every unit city etc etc
