I think it was mentioned there's life in the forest.

Forests are generally full of life.

And...let's see. Are the undefined areas rocky, sandy, soily, grassy, or what? And what kind of life did it start with? Nothing? Worms? Bugs? Rodents, lizards? Small carnivores?

I mean non-tree life. Anyway, I imagnne the non-defined areas are just a huge, blank area of soil. Kinda like a plain with no grass. No life beyond microbes, either, I bet.

Look at the descriptions for Corrupt X.

So do I.

I'm asking the GM's opinion so I can guess how life might evolve in this world, if at any given stage we gods stopped screwing with everything.

Oh, and that reminds me. How much life is in the ocean? Microbes? Plankton? Small fish? Big fish? Marine mammals/reptiles? How about benthic life? Crabs? Coral reefs? Octopi?

the undefined regions are well..... undefined. Not completely bare, so perhaps a large grassy plain? Life is assumed to just be there - nothing of note enough to catch attention, or to cause harm to anything passing through - but still with a base presence. Not very diverse, with nothing much more fantastic than a few large grazers, such as bison (or similar). Life will be assumed to be simple Earth-like unless someone goes to define any of it in detail. (If it makes it more logical, this can have been said to have 'evolved' in the stages before sentient life appears, from simple microbial life)

On the subject of the oceans, it's much the same. plenty of edible fish, not much that could threaten a human level creature. maybe a rare whale or shark.

Adding terrain makes things more interesting. A forest gives a far larger biodiversity, sustaining arboreal habitats, creatures such as wolves and boar, etc...

If things need clarifying further, please ask.

What is the cost?
Same as for a city - a region does not directly affect any mortals, and thus I'm going with the lower cost.

And on that note, fniff is up

Hm. That's...well, it means no one has to create life unless they want something special, but on the other hand it means I can't speculate much on how life might evolve between turns.

feel free to speculate. As I say, it's only mundane until someone describes otherwise - as long as it isn't magical/clearly advantageous, it'as likely to receive a place in world.

I could, but it would be boring for the most part.

I describe my created territory as lifeless. Damned animals aren't getting into my blighted wasteland!

Tectonic, dammit. I was thinking "Huh, Teutonic, wonder what that means". Damn you, spellchecker, for making that word seem so innocent.

Teutonic Plates
If that's what Teutonic Plates are, what would Tectonic Knights be like?
(The joke being based on the Teutonic Knights.)

Also, you're a bit late to have the first mountains.
