Sounds like you have a good plan. Edge of the Desert is a good choice, one of my favs. ?O.K., Question 1) At least 50% IMO. 2) Trees & hills, structures/ruins. 3) Roads are good because based on the rules you use, they give a movement benefit. But not essential. 4) I always try to make terrain in small enough groups so that models can be easily be placed in, on or around them. 5) CDs is a good idea for basing trees and other terrain. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? In general I try look at what "real" terrain whether on Earth, a planet on Star Gate, etc. and get some ideas. ?Egyptian type is one of my favorites. My predilection for the Star Gate theme plays into this. And is one of the most numerous in my collect. I've posted pics of some of my "Star Gate" type terrain, even including a small model of the Star Gate. I call that set Abydos. I'm working on more, Luxor and Saqqara. I have some of that completed so I may post those soon. Also don't be attached to only 6mm terrain, I use 15, 20 & 25mm based on the piece. Some times with a little modification. Remember many Ancient structures were huge. ? ? ? ? ? ? ?So I hope that helps. I know my 'Nid terrain was pretty elaborate. ?I was collecting that for years before I got around to finishing it.
