[QUOTE="hamishspence, post: 4988850, member: 41555"] [b]Brachiosaur-types[/b] For the Brachiosaur basic type, it gave a figure of twice the bite reach, for the tail- same proportions as the basic sauropod- which is the bit I was dubious about (since some have a tail reach (and bite reach) roughly the same length- such as [I]Barapasaurus[/I]) Though the sample one actually has a 20ft tail slap. Maybe reduce the tail slap range? it makes a good general sauropod type- from quite low sizes to quite high- since a lot of sauropods, and possibly prosauropods, were in the 45 ft long but Huge Size category- with tails and necks close to the same length. so- the following major classes: [U]Basic Sauropod[/U]: Bite reach = Space, Tail reach = 2 x Space [U]Slender Sauropod[/U]: Bite reach = 1.5 x Space, Tail reach = 3 x Space [U]Chunky/Tall Sauropod[/U]: Bite reach = Space, Tail reach = Space All these seem about right. and maybe with the other two as "templates" that can be layered onto an existing one? [U]Long necked Sauropod[/U]: As one of the other categories, but Bite Reach = 2 x Space [U]Short-tailed Sauropod[/U]: As one of the other categories, but Tail Slap Reach = Space [U]Armoured Sauropod[/U]: As one of the other classes (usually either Basic or Chunky/Tall) Using this system: [I]Mamenchisaurus[/I] could be a Basic Sauropod with the Long-necked template added, [I]Supersaurus[/I] could be a Slender Sauropod with the Long-necked template added, and: [I]Sauroposeidon[/I] could be a Chunky Sauropod with the Long necked template added. With all 3 being Gargantuan. [/QUOTE]
