This latest iteration of AA is brought to you by an actual team of game masters, which is required as it is using my made-for-computer-game mechanics. Respective shoutouts to ninjafish, Panda, Uhtread, and Abby Normal.
EDIT: A NEW GM APPROACHES: Welcome Aabcehmu, the player spirit dice cruncher!
CALLING ALL NUMBER NERDS: There are still a few open slots for additional game masters to help me with the crunch load of each turn. PM or join the discord if interested. Discord - Free voice and text chat for gamers
And, without further ado...

Actually, it might be cool to make my own plan thingy
[X] Plan Cool Mountain Lake
-[X] Temperature
--[X] Boreal
-[X] Landform
--[X] Mountains
-[X] Extras
--[X] Major Lake
We could have a nice combination of a cool lake, and nice mountains to mine for materials/use as shelter with caves.
Mountains also give access to nice natural defenses, as well as interesting fungi and animals that can't be easily found in other places, with the lake giving a steady source of food.
[X] Plan Baikal Steppe
-[X] Arid
-[X] Plains
-[X] Major Lake
Not sure whether Steppe should choose Arid or Cold, or if it should be 'Continental' or something. You've sort of listed climate in 'hot to cold' order, but the steppe is, uh, both.
My divine underlings may vote, only in this instance. All other times, I would consider it rather unfair. Aabcehmu can vote normally, however, as his job includes effectively 0 actual interpretive decision-making.

I count votes, I roll dice, I calculate net gains or losses on resource pools, I check plans against voting constraints, I can do it all! Yours now for the low, low price of $0.00

Look, my ALL THE BABIES instincts were frustrated the last two times. Can't we just be a Hummingbird spirit of Life, and have our progeny fill the world with tiny and fuck-you fierce birbs!?! I'll even accept being a Cow spirit with a thousand udders!
Yes, I realize this is just the environment vote and the actual spirit vote is later, I'm just stating my preferences here. Chimeras please??
This combination, I think, produces a fairly interesting environment, and also gives a pretty natural impetus for a spirit to form, with all the seasonal flooding and natural disasters.
