Nice but why does SF terrain have to look like it came out of a 30s North African desert movie? |

Allen57, In this case, probably because the models actually are for Leven's North Africa/mid-east range. (Edit: my mistake, just looked at the Facebook post, they're actually for a new range of ancient Sumerian buildings). In other cases, the North Africa thing is due to the indellible mark that Mos Eisley scenes in the Star Wars movies left on generations of sci-fi gamers… |

Yeah, I was thinking "Tatooine" as the answer to that question! |

Here's an idea on the subject of climate and buildings. Supose a world is colonized during a particularly unusual climatic pattern, caused by, for instance, a massive glacial period via the death blast of a volcano. A few hundred years after, the tropics deprived of rainfall ( All tied up in glacial ice, which is only beginning to thaw ) becomes desert. Another hundred years, the glaciers are about to catastrophically collapse into the oceans, increasing fresh water available for evaporation, but the tropics are still arid . . . Humans arrive and colonize, building suitable structures for the conditions, which in a generation than change back to wet and tropical as we know it again. You'd also have possible reasons for conflict – angry locals resisting relocation, expansion of certain industries/agricultures versus the shrinking of others, factions with new agendas involving a shift in climate . . . |
