Planet Creation Thread

[Clavin12]

Here's a thread for brainstorming, and inventing terrains for the different worlds on which the CP takes place. Lets start with the moon. It probably shouldn't be just a generic moon. Suggestions?

[General BlackDragon]

and lets name it Bob.

How about a nice greeny jungle planet?

[Clavin12]

Well it has to be in line with the story. I'm pretty sure the entire story takes place on the Cthonian home-world, and the moon, although we could include some small missions on outlying planets. That being the case the cthonian homeworld could have millions of environments, although I'd like to see jungles, but mountainous ones, with lots of elevation changes. An if there are going to be mountains there are going to be deserts.

Take the windward Andes for example

Clavin, read the story again. That's completely wrong.

[Mr X]

Clavin, did you read the story at all?

Nope.
I shouldn't even have to tell you that...

and the moon

No, it takes place on a lifeless moon never before encountered.

And other planets are out, their carrier is shot down.

Go and re-read the story immediately.

Is that not exactly what I just said?

I didn't mean that moon, I meant the moon in the story. Just a second.

[Clavin12]

Ok, so i re read the story and as far as I can tell only one planet (not necessarily the home world) and the strange moon are used.

[Mr X]

Clavin, it definitely isn't the homeworld.

[Clavin12]

Oh...Ok. Just a small mistake, on my part. Anyway...Since the majority of the mission take place on it can we make it multi-environmental? We could even draw a map of it. That would be cool, if in the mission menu when you go to do a single mission it shows you where on the planet it takes place.

[sabrebattletank]

We could play Risk.

Instead of demanding that someone goes back to read the story, why not correct them? Give your own idea while you're at it. Don't jump on opportunities to talk down on people just for the sake of talking down on people.

To keep this post from being hypocritical:

It doesn't have to take place on one planet, and, like Clavin said, one planet can have several different environments. Some fighting could be in a black volcano-scarred landscape with streams of lava. Slightly South is the rain forest, to the North is the desert (examples).

EDIT: stupid spelling mistakes

[sabrebattletank]

We could even take it to the extreme: underground ice-caverns.

There should be mountains, forest on one side, desert on the other. Deserts are always on the leeward (away from the wind) side of mountains. But if we're going to do it that way we'll have to invent trade winds too. But none of this should be too hard.

Yep, that was just an example. I don't know what the planet is like at all.
