[QUOTE="doghead, post: 1024626, member: 8243"] I like the ideas. Some more thoughts for you to do with as you wish. I read last night that the rise of agricultural societies corresponded with an increase in the global temperature. A massive drop in the temperature would have an equally significantly impact on agriculture. Agricultural produce and timber would become correspondingly rarer. So small social groups would probably be nomad. Hunter/gather societies would probably be the common type. If you place the portal underground in a giant chamber, or series of chambers, could it be used to grow various types of fungi? These could be a substitute to the more difficult to grow grains etc. Vents from the chamber could be used to heat the buildings above. Would the city be totally enclosed? Ice ships! An option would be to have metals less popular due to their poor thermal qualities. ColdIron sounds like something to be avoided. I like your ideas regarding the various races and creatures in the world. Giants (or at least some of them) have immunity to cold don't they. This would be a significant racial advantage. [/QUOTE]
