wats Special Colony ?

Once on ultra I got a 1500 land S. Desert :D

owh, now i understand...
i wad also wondering about it myself.

Yes Mazuki... there are S barrens, but hard to come by and most that i`ve seen end up being even smaller then a usual barren, as it will be something like a 50 land barren but 10x so still end up being rather small.

And special planets are kind of like special brownies... if used properly can be quite magical, but one must be careful and use them in the correct setting.

is there S.barrens? id assume so but ive never seen one myself.

S. Desert are where the real potential gems are. Planet size occasionally will exceed 1000 land.

Special colonies are not limited to the boundaries of their planet-type
(found here: http://gc.gamestotal.com/i.cfm?p=manual&file=planettype)

mostly they aren`t spectacular.
true, finding a gas planet with size 300 is "special".. but worthless nevertheless :D

sometimes you can get lucky with these. but odds are...
well, you`ll have to explore a dungload for it ^^
