There are Tropical worlds, Buy why no Nemoral and Boreal worlds?

I'd say nemoral and boreal are already covered by continental type planets.
Perhaps in a DLC later on, a bit more variety is never wrong.
Edit: Just looked at the wiki again, Boreal can easily be covered by tundra type planets as well.
The way I understand it Tropical worlds aren't supposed to represent worlds just covered in tropical forests. Instead they seem to refer to worlds that are warmer and wetter than continental worlds overall, kinda like Earth was during the Pangaea period. Thus its not a question of forestation or a single biome world, but a matter of overall climate conditions.

Between Kashyyk and the forest moon of Endor, are you nuts? Boreal worlds chew up empires!!

Please forgive my foray into semantics, but I would've thought Kashyyyk and Endor would be considered nemoral, rather than boreal? They always seemed to look a bit on the warmer side, is what I'm saying.
You're quite correct...I went with boreal more for it being more commonly used in my experience and rolling off the tongue more readily.
Nemoral sounds more like a Scottish castle anyways...Balmoral, Nemoral.

I thought Arboreal was used for forested regions. Seems Nemoral can also be used. Would avoid the confusion Arboreal ~ Boreal.
... Would tropical planets also fit with swamp planets, like Dagobah? Or am I missing something?
Probably, if it is a hot planet. Continental if is slightly colder, and ocean if it is mostly water.
mots likely DLC series is new world types. other than that there will be at least one 1000+ new worlds mod before the end of release week.

Gaia worlds are likely Earth copies that have anything and everything biome wise on them.

boreal worlds are the more forested segments of tundra. nemoral worlds are just the more forested parts of continental.
Not quite - 'arboreal' is used to describe something related to trees and 'nemoral' describes something related to woods or groves, but 'boreal' describes something related to, or coming from 'the North' (as in 'Aurora Borealis'). It's usually used in the context of Boreal forests (also known as 'Taiga' - and are characterised by coniferous forests) or Boreal climate (characterised by long winters and short, cool or mild summers). A 'Boreal' world might be somewhat similar in climate and appearance to Canada, Scandinavia or northern Russia.
I have occasionally seen 'Nemoral' used to describe temperate forest biomes but that terminology seems to be in decline.
Also - regarding adding new types of habitable worlds - I'd personally be all for it but I'm slightly worried that Paradox may have boxed themselves into a corner with their current 'ring' system of planet colonisability and their desire for a game with equal starts - it somewhat limits what can be added.

We have seen PDX rework or even scrap whole game mechanics before in their 'expansions'. I'm sure if they really wanted they could fairly easily rework that system to accommodate more world types.
i can't really explain why, but this whole thread has made me giggle. Its brilliantly pedantic and serves no purpose other than to prove some of us know uncommon words while others own dictionaries.
I genuinely love it, it feels like home!

I must concede that I needed to consult a dictionary before participating in this discussion. ._.
