honestly reading the bit about the polar vortex induced cold wave, I want to see if I can combine it with lake effect snow and the whole shitload of lightning thing a distinct part of Venezuela's got going for it
I now have an idea for a very dim red dwarf, around 0.32 Mₛᵤₙ. There are five rocky planets, and two "gas" giants. My habitabke planet orbits at 0.118 AU, and is the second fron the star. The reason it doesn't crash into the planet in front is because of a resonance with that planet.
Great Video! I live in the Great Lakes region of the US and we get significant Lake Effect snow during out winters that results in regular blizzards. I'm no expert here but I would think that despite the lack of strong winds, the areas to the east of the large lakes on the western continent there would also be subject to large snowfall events? If anyone who knows more about Lake Effect snowstorms has some input please share.
Do you know the historical model of Philippe Fabry, historionomy It is a model that describes the trajectories of political entities and civilizations With on the one hand the formation of nation-states, with two types of possible formations: Either from an anarchic situation, in this case several then royal states will form in the fertile areas and the one located in the largest plain (or fertile zone) will conquer those located in the geographically and ethnically close plains , until coming up against the zone of influence of another more or less equivalent state, Either from an independence revolution, where a national feeling is created based on the memory of independence, a certain system of justice, and an expansionist desire which will only stop if a greater power comes to break its expansionist momentum . or to the point of coming up against the zone of influence of another state with more or less equivalent power (which with equal population capacity, happens further for states formed from an independence revolution) In both cases, if the country stabilizes ethically, if there is no longer a strong population movement and strong explantations, the different ethnic groups within the country assimilate mutually until they can form a nation, which takes about 600 years of stability, if there are disturbances during this period it delays the formation of the nation in proportion to the severity of the disturbance (for example the 100 years war between France and England delayed the formation of the French nation by 100 years) Once the nation is formed, if the political system finds itself ruined and humiliated (by a lost war most often) this leads to a national revolution with the overthrow or removal of the powers of the old regime the formation of a democratic or oligarchic (census suffrage) system and can, after a surge of conquest and the emergence of a revanchist imperialist (Cromwell, or Napoleon Bonaparte for example), if the country finds itself quickly defeated or suffers a political vacuum, a parliamentary democratic or oligarchic regime is established If the country does not find itself quickly defeated or does not suffer a political vacuum, the imperial or authoritarian system established by the vengeful imperialist continues. And on the other hand, the trajectory of different civilizations depending on geography What he exposes on his channel and in lives that he did for another radio channel Athéna
As somebody who lived in places like New Mexico for a decent chunk of time, i can tell you that stronger winds can occur inland at high altitudes if it's flat and arid enough! There were hardly any trees up there, and at certain points, it got bad enough to nearly bowl 15yo me over.
Ooh, the section on Föhn winds just helpfully confirmed the plausibility of a phenomena I had imagined in my fantasy setting! The desert-making Hellwinds of Atleb do make sense! (aside from the fact that they're generated by the Sun rising out of a tunnel beneath the earth Gilgamesh-style) Thanks!
I wonder about hurricane graveyards, though. Like I notice that months after a hurricane in the Mexican gulf, there are these heavy rain strong winds timed at the south west coast of Norway. I know the south west coast gets winds and rains, but it is like 20-25 m/s instead of 10-15 m/s and like twice the rain. Like an autumn or early winter phenomena. This may be mostly a hunch from an engineer though, but I found it worth throwing in.
I'm curious how humans will fit into this. Did they evolve on this planet, travel to it from some other world, or were they created here by some higher power?
Not quite. The eastern coast of India, which gets most of the cyclones, is relatively flat. We do get a tropical storm on the West Coast sometimes, but it's impossible to tell apart from regular rain.
This series always gives me the insperation and motavtion to make my own maps and get better at them. I love this series. One day ill finally finish my worldbuilding lol.
Love how this looks. For some reason I envision some type of nomadic culture that utilizes a type of wind-snow glider in the north of Jannar ennabled by the strong winds in junction with the heavy snow. Migrating during the winter blizzards and settling during the summers
I've been having a really bad week. Seeing that there's a new Artifexian video is already a huge comfort in and of itself, but there's a discord server now?! I'm actually genuinely excited!
I have a question about your end goals here: You mentioned at the start of this project that you were planning on having a speculative bio component to the project, I guess what I'm unsure of is how that's going to gel with plopping humans into the world? Was I just misinterpreting what you meant with spec bio in your episode 0 from two years ago? Are you planning on doing + arbitrary humans? Is this going to be a 'the first colonization sites of humans on this world?' This question isn't intended as criticism, I'm just wondering if my expectations for the spec bio portion were misaligned with your aims for that part of the project.
Southern Atlantic tropical cyclones are suppressed mainly by the ITCZ simply not going that far south, plus crazy wind shear. Similar for the south east pacific. Also love me some proper mountains butting up against a TC zone! What I wouldn't give to see that on Earth, but our tropics are simply too flat on the east coasts. Always wondered what would happen if a proper monster storm were to pummel something like the Andes, that would be a mighty wet coastline.
Could we get a redrawing of cretac as a physical map? It was a bit weird for my brain seeing sandstorms marked in what looks like tropical rainforests lol
When you say you're going to only put humans in one location, does that mean you don't plan on playing out a history of civilization on your world? I was kinda hoping you'd do that to some degree or form, or do you still plan on doing something like that at some point? Either way, I can accept if you don't want to do that, I just kinda hoping you would.
Thanks for another great video! Once we get to population I hope you'll do some kind of migration path instead of summoning people in various places willy-nilly.
hey, ive been loving this series , i think you should re-palette the map to show the zones of different climates abit better. only saying this because i saw you doing the sand storms and was painted over lush green vegetation. so less of a height map and more of a satellite map . but i might just be dumb and its supposed to be like that . All love
I’m not sure I’m ever going to use the majority of this information cuz I don’t think I’m ever going to design a world this detailed, but I love this series and I’m learning a lot from it. And it’s incredibly cool to see your world gradually come to life. I can’t wait til you get to biology.
