Do your preferred rules favor or discourage the use of very thick jungle growth?Are your ruins easy to spot on your table, or are they hidden and grown over with all manner the jungle vegetation?What percentage of your table would you say is covered by jungle trees, vines and bushes? And why? Does thick growth work for or against your overall goals in your games?Inquiring minds want to know. Well, at least this one. PS. Also, I really like how these gents found excellent ways to “tone down” the colors of their lush assortments of plastic vegetation:http://1000footgeneral.blogspot.com/2017/06/making-jungle-terrain.htmlhttps://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=115696.msg1449327#msg1449327
Coverage depends on hills, if I have hills on the table that are over 3" high I use 50-70% coverage, lower than 3" 30-50% and -10% from those figures if there is a coastline in play. Rivers up to 3" wide add 15%, 3-12" wide add 25%.So depending on hills and rivers and coasts, between 20 and 95%This is based on annualised rain fall in the tropics and (obviously) assumes there are no active logging industries in the area.Also, don't forget we're talking Jungles here and not rainforests, I use different calculations for each http://www.differencebetween.net/science/nature/difference-between-jungle-and-rainforest/
Dr De'Ath, as you know we agree on most things but I feel you are presenting slightly misleading facts. Have you considered the standard conventions regarding forest density as drawn up in the treaty of 1925? They state, and I am paraphrasing here, that density cannot be to the detriment of any person or persons exploring the forests. Examples being getting hopelessly lost with no chance of survival or getting stuck between two trunks recklessly placed too close together. Such reckless actions could lead to litigation against the individual or individuals in legal possession of the said forest. In this case I am of course assuming The Lost World is owned by Messers A C Doyle.We're good friends but in this instance I must send a shot across your bow and warn you against half baked advice regarding density above 75%.
