Indeed, while for new players it would be preferable to only have the first books of each, for convenience and because of the public nature of the Ages I think it’s preferable to have all the chapters available.

I would have expected first al Elodea ages, then all Alabaster ages (or vice versa).
The idea was to have the first chapter of each series at the top. If grouping them by series is less confusing, I’d put the more recent series first, with the suggested internal order, i.e.:

Personally I’m a fan of hub areas like Toroolbah, which with one book allow access to a few more. I can’t reveal more
but I know one Writer is planning to create such an area, so the three volumes may need a reshuffle in the future.
diafero wrote:You have two books called "Game Ages", that mean very different things. Honestly I am not convinced it is worth having a book for "ages with competitive games".
Yes, the ‘giant board games’ book is the one I was more uncertain about; it’s neat to have them in one place, but as far as I know they’re not particularly popular, so it could be removed for an additional “auto” spot.
For the other book I couldn’t find a title, since Crowthistle isn’t the only possible addon. Other ideas I had are “Imported Ages” or “Cyan Ages”, but neither is completely satisfying. “Speakeasy Ages”?
ametist wrote:Dragons Tooth1 was the first age Metabasalt wrote. After discussions he remade it and I built Kinnekulle, so those two have links to each other. Precambrian has no links, Ordovician links to both Kinnekulle and Dragons Tooth, Dragons Tooth has links to Ordovician and Wind River. Wind River has a link to Cretaceous. Phu!
Need a map?

If anyone’s wondering, the minimum list of Ages for
Geologica would be: Dragon’s tooth/Kinnekulle/Ordovician, Snake River, Cretaceous Park, Dragon’s tooth Classic.

I’ve sorted the Ages and changed the description; ideas for improvement (for this and other descriptions) are welcome.

Geologica is a collection of educational Ages - actually used as teaching material in a Swedish school in the past! - based on the geology of areas in the United States and Sweden. You can search for fossils, solve geologic puzzles, and travel to ancient worlds.
Question time: what’s the difference between “age:” and “link:”? Are there other useful tags other than “cover:”, “text:”, “age:”, “link:”?
