Tierrennor #5: Climate & Ocean Currents

Climate:

Climate bands in vertical hexes:

Climate	Hex range	Hex depth	Description
Arctic/Antarctic	1 – 6	6	May be covered in ice. Has long, cold winters and short, cool summers. Low population density. Nomad and Primitive
Sub Arctic/Sub Antarctic	7 – 14	8	Very cold winters and cool summers. Low population density. Barbarian, Nomad, and Primitive
Temperate	15 – 26	12	Mild to warm summers and cool to cold winters. Four seasons. Low to high population density. Barbarian, Civilized, Nomad, and Primitive
Sub Tropical	27 – 36	10	Hot summers and mild winters with infrequent frost. Prone to dry areas and lowland swamps. Low to high population density. Barbarian, Civilized, Nomad, and Primitive
Tropical	37 – 43	7	Hot, wet, jungle, but may also include dry seasons and desert in some places. Low to high population density. Barbarian, Civilized, and Primitive

Precipitation effects:

• Low: Desert to waste
• Medium: Scrub to grasslands
• High: Forest and jungles

Climate	Hex range	Hex depth	Typical plants and crops:
Arctic/Antarctic	1 – 6	6	Mosses, lichens, sedges, grasses, and dwarf woody shrubs dominate most Arctic tundra, and miniature flowering plants dominate the polar deserts. Beets, berries, turnips, potatoes, and green leafy vegetables.
Sub Arctic/Sub Antarctic	7 – 14	8	Evergreen and few broad leaf trees. Grasses and shrubs. Beets, berries, turnips, potatoes, grains, beans, peas, squashes, limited fruit trees, and green leafy vegetables.
Temperate	15 – 26	12	Trees, grasses, and swamps. Root vegetables, grains, fruits, beans, peas, squashes, tomatoes, fruits, green leafy vegetables, and spices
Sub Tropical	27 – 36	10	Trees, some jungle, grasses, and swamps. Root vegetables, grains, fruits, beans, peas, squashes, tomatoes, fruits, green leafy vegetables, and spices
Tropical	37 – 43	7	Jungle, grasses, and swamps. Root vegetables, grains, fruits, beans, peas, squashes, tomatoes, fruits, green leafy vegetables, and spices

Keep some plants universal and some regional.
