In short, Alien civs is a roleplay where all sorts of sentient species simultaniously evolve/materialize on a strange planet. Each race starts out with primitive technology and a small population. They then go on to build cities, research new tech, wage war against other species and the likes.
The Planet
RAINLANDS
The rainlands cover around 15% of the planet's continents. Life thrives here. This part of the world has a very rich (and deadly) flora and fauna and it rains all night every night. Average Temperatures between 30 and 40 degrees celsius. Lots of fresh water to drink.
SANDLANDS
These deserts cover as much as 20% of dry land. They have little flora and even less fauna. Not very hospitable. Little water, 40-50 Celsius during at 3 PM. 0-10 Celsius at 3 AM.
SWAMPS
Toxic Swamps. Don't fall into the water! Only a strange breed of plants and trees can survive around here... animals who can find some source of clean water. Average temperatures around 300 Kelvins.
WINDLANDS
Wast plains scarred by passing rivers. Windspeeds are high and while most days are sunny, a storms hit weekly and blow away everything in its path... hence the lack of forests. Smaller vegetation on the other hand does well. -25 to 15 degrees celsius average temperatures (there is summer and winter). Warmer in the canyons (by about 10 degrees).
HIGHLANDS
Mountains. Lots of them. In between, relatively livable valleys with forests. Temperatures between -25 and 15 degrees.
TREELANDS
With a temperate/Oceanic weather, Treelands would be among the most hospitable parts of the planet for carbon-based life, were it not for the vast forests of purple trees grow that emit neurotoxic gas whenever someone dares to mess with it's leaves.
COLDLANDS
Basically Tundra. Can get as cold as -45 Celsius but you'll probably find something to eat during the summer.
ICELANDS
Inhospitable for most species.
FIRELANDS
A Really dangerous place to live in!
