Cave provinces? Think Moria...

So there's going to be a Balrog too...

Really looking forward to Tir n'an Og and it is early man but before man invaded and captured the forest of avalon.

I hope I enjoy playing the nation as much as I enjoy playing MA Man (this nation rocks, if you want sheer overwhealming power), favourite nation don't you know!

Hmmm...cave province...sounds interesting.

Oh and v3.02! Woot!

Cave provinces, this makes me very, very happy!

Now I just have to wish for deep ocean provinces ('cause pressure is an explitive), cloud provinces (for angels to sit on and harp about everything), and fire (magma? sleestaks? Beelzebub?) provinces (below the caves)

I'm pretty sure I've seen Deep Sea provinces.

I'm not talking the standard deep sea province type in game already, I'm talking colossal miles-deep oceanic rifts. Sure, they're in the game, but the reality of such a place, how truly hostile it is to life which hasn't evolved to deal with it, would require separation into a separate type of province to simulate properly. For instance, if you were to drop a 1970 cadillac de'ville (I wouldn't do it to an El Dorado) into the deepest part of the ocean, it'd come back up approximately the size and shape of a bowling ball.

Why would it come back at all?
I'd expect that after being squished into the size of a bowling ball, it would be even more dense* and thus will sink further.
* - as in (weight/volume), there's a better word for it, I just don't know what it is in English :X

What would you want for this? Another level of the game which cannot be entered by low-water creatures? So that aquatics would need special equipment to go there? And land would beed both water breathing and deep water equipment? Then we would need sites for it, spells for it, summons for it.

No, it wouldn't. Solid metal doesn't get shrunk / compressed, and all the air in the car would be _long_ gone before it got there. Windows would break early, equalizing pressure; most of the fluids would have minimal compression (oil, anti-freeze, gasoline - not positive about hydraulic/brake fluid but expect the same behavior as the others), about the only major items that would compress would be the gas tank, radiator, and other items that aren't completely filled with liquid, and I suspect that the engine block / cylinders, etc, would fill with liquid seeping in through the valves long before they'd collapse.
