Maybe we should have more? We basically have every terrain we could have. Desert, mountains, river, lakes, a sea, forests, volcanoes, and and jungle.
I just did some research, and it turns out that we don't have all of the terrain. I didn't know if we only wanted six dwellings or something, but here are the terrains that we don't have: plains, , tundra, icesheet, hills, swamps, and bogs. Definitions of these are provided below.
See, if you read through them, you realize that obviously, we could attach some sub- boards to the six dwellings. For example, we could just attach bogs or swamps to the jungle or the forest.
What grabbed my attention for this whole board and research and such, was really the arctic region. It would be so cool to have Eskimo characters! Or have a half seal half human character, I think they have a name but I forget it.
Anyways... Here is my idea. I would definatly help with the idea if we chose to do it, help it gets started, maybe create the description for it if you wanted me to help.
Thanks for reading.

Plains --[/u]
Large stretches of land that are usually lower than the area around them. They are typically flat, and broad.
Tundra --[/u]
An area with no trees, because the ground is permanently frozen. Average temperatures are -70°F . Most of the plants that are there are shrubs, sedges, mosses, lichens and grasses. There are animals in the area, though, wolves, foxes, polar bears, etc.
Icesheet --[/u]
A mass of glacier ice that covers surrounding terrain and is greater 19305 mile²!
Hills --[/u]
A hill is a landform that extends above the surrounding terrain, in a limited area.
Swamp --[/u]
A wetland with an area of a shallow body of water. Trees usually surround the area, but it is not always the case.
Bog --[/u]
Water the color of dried blood?!
This one I think is the most interesting, and this site does a very good job of explaining it.
The page isn't very long. If you just read the first paragraph, it gives you a good feel for it.
