Have you played with terraformation?

[Flipper19]

Damn you and your army painting antics,  plus im getting a shirt printed saying "Piss off im annoyed enough at the dice I dont neeed your crap too!  P.s I'm not working today...."  Unless your around in which case dog "I love my dice today".

[Dogmeat]

I keep meaning to get my T-shirt but never get around to it.

As a side note, I think its best you don`t come to this next tournament.  With you not being there my dice had a chance.  With you in the same building they do tend to cower in fear.

This and the next few comics seem to sum up my relationship with dice.  Sad eh?

Terraformation is great, after a few games you can't do without it any more (specially now that there are more scouts coming). We are already at the second draft stage of a full English translation, which prompts a question from me: since neither word exists in the English language, would you more say terraforming or terraformation?

Neither personally.  They`re about making something more Earthlike.  I`d just call it the terrain setup phase, but I`m funny like that.

What about Battlefiel Definition ?

Terrain setup sounds good to me. If everyone happy with it I will ask Geof to validate it as the English term to define this phase and will update my relative unofficial translation.

More generally this type of remark is exactly waht Geof is expecting from you, English speakers.

Currently working on translations, we fully appreciate our English is not perfect and that some expressions doesn't sound appropriate.  All your remarks are most welcome as they help us to create proper documents you may easily use.

To be fair, I don`t think Terraformation is too bad.  It keeps it distinctive rather than just being terrain setup.  It is more than just that.

I`d vote to call it "Raising Hell" personally.

[hippiecrap]

I like it Dog.

Damn no thumbs up smiley. I think I've been smiley spoilt by the ukcord

[Corto]

Raising Hell is nice, but may be misleading. Terrain setup on the other hand is not very exciting. I'm sure you guys can do better, something in the middle, exciting and descriptive at the same time...

 to be honest  terrain placement sound a bit boring ..  terraformation a bit to Sci-fi . the term have nothing to imply that scout are your best  friend  for this phase ...


Hell reconnecince  .  Hellish scouting ..   stuff like that  would sound more apropiate  IMHO

[lapiaz]

 and yes  Terrain rules are a most  as they really bring the best of the companies in a stand off game .. even more in a campaing

[Bork]

how about infernal landscaping? 

[lapiaz]

a bit to gardening  ...    nah! terraformation  is still the best term

[wollfe]

you know you could always call it"terrain setup or how to raise hell" if your looking for a chapter title for the book

if you want to name the phase/process itself how about "terrorformation" - a bit of a play on words

but i'd just as well be happy with calling it "chucking sceneryon the table or floor depending on what you play on,  in a not totally random manner so you can play a rocking game" 


also what are these terraformation rules and where are they - i could be being silly and blind and braindead - but i can't find them for love nor money
