Ant - Army of ants
Elephant - hannibal famously rode elephants into battle
Foot - foot soldier
Napoleon - yes
Rainbow - isnt this some high up rank or squad within the army?
Second - second division etc
Sun - empire of the sun
Sword - yes

I like napoleon, sword and foot best.

Like if he wanted the foot soldier connection he could just clue soldier.

Whereas army ants are a thing

Isn't a tundra basically the opposite of a forest? Feels like he might be avoiding it.

Def penguin and probably swamp. Rainbow is kinda standing out to me.

idk for some reason I thought Neil knew some mtg cards

Tundra is a land, and Forest and Swamp are 2/5 major basic lands in that game

I could see something like Jupiter maybe

Lol, I swear you find a connection to mtg almost every other clue!

I don't get Jupiter?

I do still think it could be forest anyway, but I'd rather guess something else this turn and leave it as a backup in case it's really bad.

I just can't find anything else that's like...."a description of terrain" so Forest still seems decent by a good bit to me

in a sense of "what is it", there's only 2 other geographical things on there similar to tundra

Jupiter I was thinking cause isn't it like...cold and tundraish there? can't say i've ever been...

It's possible I'm confused about what a tundra even is. I think of them as basically icy wastelands, but maybe I'm wrong? I dunno, but if the clue was tundra 0 I'd be guessing forest first.

Any thoughts on rainbow? There's also auroras in those regions, which are kinda like rainbows on steroids.

yea...but then why not just aurora or something then?

and yea tundra is basically like an icy wasteland/desert thing afaik

I really think Neil is going for the MTG angle and it just makes perfect sense for that combo of 3

if it's wrong it's wrong but pretty sure I've heard him reference it before/maybe something was said in another thread - and Forest and Swamp are card type - land in that game as is Tundra

Because aurora doesn't hit penguin or swamp?

If you feel strongly about it then go for it I guess. I can see it both ways, but if I was cluing this it would be to avoid forest, or just out of sheer desperation. I certainly wouldn't want to guess it based entirely on mtg tho.

So

Penguin
Swamp
Forest
Pass
Rainbow
