![]() Meanwhile I am getting very curious about that novel. So that’s what I’ve done in the last few weeks: a new look, a twitter account and new “Marschandising” in the gift shop. If a website can build an audience without any form of promotion, there should be more possible if I put some work into it again. Just enough to buy a few beers in the pub, but still… I also found out I made some sales in the gift shop. I get more visitors on Modified Mars than on my business website which I promote so enthousiasticly. And actually public interest isn’t that bad. That last email prompted me to look into it once more. Only very occasionally I got an email like that one about the novel. Now, while we don’t need exactly this mixture for all the gases, we would need a very similar amount of O 2. Earth’s atmosphere consists of 21 oxygen, 78 nitrogen, and 1 other gases/elements. Its day is about the same length as Earths, it has plenty of frozen water just under its surface, and it. To restore the planet to its old glory and make sure we can breathe and stay conscious on Mars, we need to terraform its atmosphere. ![]() It didn’t seem to get very crowded there anyway. Terraforming Mars is one of the great dreams of humanity. And then other projects demanded my attention so I almost forgot about Modified Mars. Plot In an attempt to colonize Mars, 21st century scientists are tasked with terraforming the planet. Combined with a thick atmosphere, a magnetic field to shield against radiation, and a variety of organic molecules, Mars had favorable conditions to form. I claimed a domain, and put the result of my work there. When life emerged on our watery planet sometime between 3.5 to 4 billion years ago, Mars was also home to lakes of liquid water and possibly flowing rivers. Finally I came up with a set of place names, inspired by what happened in America: a mixture of names from the old and the new world, combined with of names that seem to have fallen from the sky. And I invented a future history in which the powers on Earth can’t stand the temptation to claim a piece of the planet for themselves. I picked a contour line that would be a beautiful coastline and tried to imagine what climate and vegetation zones would emerge. I made a map, based on the actual topography of Mars. I mainly wanted to investigate what this terraformed Mars would look like, which interesting places would be there. Giant corporations, sponsored by the World Government on Earth, initiate huge projects to raise. With Modified Mars I wanted to keep away from that somewhat premature debate. In the 2400s, mankind begins to terraform the planet Mars. From the Southern Wilds to the Other Face of Mars, the taming of the Red Planet continues. It’s very easy to get into ethical discussions about terraforming, like about the question if we’re allowed to “play God”. Explore a new side of Mars with the new Hellas & Elysium maps, each bringing a new set of twists, awards and milestones.
