Kind of a weird question....
« on: March 17, 2023, 01:12:16 pm »

In our World of Bones game our latest player had noticed that evil biomes were shrinking and the goblin population is dropping in numbers.  It looks like the deserts are expanding and pushing into the evil biomes.

I know that civilizations and sites and armies and history moves on when the game is being played but....is climate change a thing?  If this game goes on long enough will the whole planet be covered in sand, rock, and melting heat?!?!

Replied already in the World of Bones thread, but I'll post here too what the Wiki says about evil regions (emphasis added):

Quote
Evil regions may exist either on their own (where they are known as "primordial" evil regions) or they may be caused by the presence of demons or necromancers ruling over a site in it (known as "circumstantial" evil regions). An evil region possesses spheres associated with the entities, if any, inhabiting it, which influences the surroundings to some extent. E.G: Blight, death, and disease regions kill plant life, while nightmare regions are home to bogeymen. Primordial evil areas are eternal, but circumstantial evil regions may fade away if there is no activity in the area, making it possible to revert it back to normal. Presumably, slaying the demons or necromancers responsible for the corruption is the way to do so.v0.47.01
