Quilty 72 water

Nodes are a crazy random beast though. I've seen nodes that stretch at q12 for 15 tiles and then all of a sudden ramp up to 30 in the span of 10. The distribution of quality among the node's radius is by no means linear. Just because the node is 100 tiles wide doesn't really mean the center is q100.

No, certainly not. But in a non linear system, the wider it is the even crazier high Q the center is going to be. And this thing wasn't just 100 wide, it was probably 300-400 wide at least if you went from Q11 edge to Q11 edge (much of this being inland and not easy to see exactly)

Not exactly. It could be 200 tiles of q11-q13, and then the center 100 tiles go up to q50 or so. That's what I'm saying. I've seen nodes with huge stretches of constant qualities (q12 for 20 tiles).

From my experience, water/clay nodes obey the same principle. They have a central point and in a circle around them the quality decreases. So if you're boating along a river and you get Q12 water for 20-30 tiles it means you're running essentially parallel to the node center which is inland somewhere. The longer the stretch of Q12 water, the better Q the node will be to have such a wide radius.

The progression of quality is however not linear, but rather exponential to a randomly generated power.
