[Freeciv-Dev] New River Generator

[Erik Sigra <freeciv@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I have improved my river generation algorithm very much today. I think
the rivers can't be made much better than this with the current
terrain system. Now the rivers are much smarter. If they start at a
sea corner, they no longer usually fow far away somewhere. That is
because they now prefer to flow away from mountains and hills, and
flow towards oceans, rivers and swamps, as you can see on these
pictures:
