I think I have it mostly figured out except my 3rd racial characteristic, which I may want to change. So I placed the idea for my system in my userspace fedor

The reason I don't like mercantile is I don't really want lots of open market capacity and the bonus might only be used on 2/3 zones. I'm thinking perhaps high fertility, or just crystal oriented.

EDIT: I have now gone over it with Brend and made some changes.

A small nitpicking issue: I read that you spend 201 biomass, but had no rock converted to mass. So if I have read it correctly, you have spend 1 bio mass to much. Not a huge issue, but something what needs correcting to keep it fair in my opinion.

[Fedor]

Sorry, that was 201 to spend, 1 converting over.
A total of 70 is left after everything is spent.

[Fedor]

So I still have one to spend and I want to make a new one.
Namely building a large part of the civilisation underground. The name would be Underworld and could give say 4 additional zones to the planet because of increased space. I was considering that it could add a bonus to defence, but the mechanics for defence aren't defined yet.

I would modify the special slightly:

I'd suggest only 3 additional zones are created, but that you get the Solidified Core climate for free (it will not take up a climate slot). I'd also suggest that this special must be taken on a Medium Planet or Large Planet due to size limitation.

Would you be satisfied if we ruled that at this time, the special merely gives the above bonuses and we add any defensive bonuses later on in collaboration with you once the war rules are completed? Naturally, in accordance with our meta-rules, if you at that point decide its not worth it, you'll be allowed to pick a different special.

[Fedor]

Yes, this sounds good. Solidified Core would be a bother, but it really fits in there.

[Fedor]

I created the page for it (underworld) with your specifications.

[Brend]

No you didn't. You forget the " must be taken on a Medium Planet or Large Planet due to size limitation."

I have added this to the wiki.
