    there is no way st. louis.. or anything not in the cascades of cali for that matter.. would actually be around.. or above water.. just saying.
    according to the story of the game.. the semi terraforming that happened (it could at the most only wipe out or genetically alter current biological life, and as evident, alter the "climate" of a planet, it cannot perform geological reshaping of the tectonics...) melted the polar caps.. thus antarctica is a saught after island paradise now.. the complete melting of the polar caps would not only drastically flood the sea level, but would also have the disasterous effects of further increasing the extreme temperatures of the planet. The salinity balanced would be more dilute as well.. causing the oceans themselves to actually freeze almost completely, especially during the winter solistice.. also.. the weight being applied to the mass of the ice on the polar caps would be relieved.. and like releasing your squeeze on a tennis ball, the poles would themselves protrude further from center than they have been, adding altitude and possibly forcing some negative tectonic activity. this would mean.. that not only would reagions who range from -300ft to 800ft sea level, would also be lower, but more importantly, they would be completely submerged...

    most of the US would be underwater except for some of the great plains, perhaps, and the northern parts of the appalachans.. and most of the rockies/cascades.

    just saying.. though science fiction.. it should generally follow all of the laws and conventions of actual science, and stray only when the subject is still only theoretical or with given specific alternatives. Which holds true for telling any story that isn't real (or a lie) the best story (lie) is one that holds an amount of truth to it, which helps the audience believe in the lie, or at the least, have a better chance of imagining it and coping with the story.

    other than that, it seems ok..

    your wisdom seems infinite on alien technology and terraforming, did you graduate from the Vulcan science academy? have you ever heard of a thing called excessive evaporation, sinkholes or shift of polar regions? no? well just to clarify that: in all cases water recedes to other places asa it shifts, so if the southpole was an ice desert, it might be Europe or Hawaii that is the same now.

    your logic is flawed, beats the sh!t out of me why they call it science fiction in first place and not science fact

    great and now that we have resolved that issue: back to the topic, where are you from?
