I was thinking a territory with more cold would have more areas for mages/units which are hidden in snow. Very little territory if any will have areas to search for hidden in the snow when the temperature is over 100o degrees. The glacier won't exist to even search.

Glacier is like a magic site that doesn't produce gems: it is there, or it isn't. It might affect scales, but scales don't affect them in the short time the actual games take. It will take several generations to even notice that a glacier is melting, and that will only uncover maybe the last one hundred years or so; a pitiful amount when one considers the thousands of years it takes for a glacier to form.

No Glacier will last even a month much less several generations when the temperature is above 100o degrees F .

Not quite true, here there is a nearby glacier that is barely even visible from the point it used to end at 50 years ago. I don't have a problem with hidden in snow being castable anywhere though, there are about a hundred bigger thematic oddities in dominions.

Default Re: Wasted 75 earth gems on \"Hidden in the Sand!\" BUG?

As one who has sweated and been sun burnt while walking on glaciers, I can assure you the millions of tons of ice will resist heat much longer than you may think. Growing up in Canada teaches you a few other things as well, but most of you don�t want to know those sorts of thing about moose�
