I want the kingdom to thrive in the beginning but then collapse. Oh, big trees block out sunshine for other, smaller plants? I can use that. That flooding was insane. I remember that my teacher showed a video about it. I don’t remember much about global wind/rain circulation… But I think...

Seems like a nice place to grow up, ThinkerX, I have to admit I’m a bit jealous! And to clarify, agriculture and deforestation are good things in many cases, but they can go wrong depending on what factors are at play. So if ordinary trees in a boreal forest are cut down, and the land turned...

Okay, the same people would still stay in charge - the system would just begin to change (provided that my "environmental catastrophe" is long-lasting). So if this kingdom was located in a European setting, the change in agriculture and urbanization would happen slowly and not be as devastating...

Kind of unexpected to find coniferous forests in this biome, interesting! I didn't find much information about terra roxa/purple soil, but it seems like a good reason to settle down and start cultivating. Would I get any fast erosion with this latosol?

Oh, so it's only the top-soil in rainforests that is fertile, and the underlying layers are very poor. Well, it makes sense. A quick boom and bust-kingdom would only occur in a tropical forest, perhaps combined with a fishing boom. Local rain surely decreases as a result of deforestation, but...

I love folk metal: Eluveitie, Ensiferum and Equilibrium - I seem to have a thing for bands that start with E. Within Temptation is an old favorite. Oh, and trailer music is awesome. My favorite composer is Mark Petrie, but Two Steps From Hell is great too. And then there's Fever Ray that I just...

One part of my continent used to have lots of ancient, huge trees.The climate is coastal, rainy and temperate. The great forest had very fertile soil, which is why humans chose to settle there. The trees provided them with lots of wood and they quickly expanded. A medieval, feudal kingdom with a...

Thank you for the welcome! How nice that you've been to Finland. Yeah, there is no shortage of trees here. :)

I'm a swedish-speaking girl from the icy realm of Finland. Apart from writing I also love landscape photography, drawing and nature. Right now I'm preparing for Nanowrimo 2014.
