Large terrain features

[Agarrett]

I know that this has been suggested before, but in the light of the new map, I think that there should be a new thread instead of bumping an old one. Anyways, large areas such as deserts, forests, and tundra would be nice, instead of forest. I have no idea how long it would take to write the generator to include these (with the deserts having very few rivers) but it would be nice to be able to build cool places in tundra or something.

I agree, right now all the diversity are just small amoebas (or deformed dicks, your pick) of terrains. If you haven't managed to change the generator to produce better terrain, can the amoebas at least be made larger?

Rivers should be wider, swimming should kill you slower

Rivers should be wider, swimming should kill you slower

This is more than reasonable.

Ca-ching! TheTrav gets it right!
