Nice work on the hills/mountains part.  The irrigation bit is probably 
ahead of its time (and I think will break old tilesets unnecessarily).
Question: how do forests and jungle work in civ3?  I see all sorts of 
sprites for grassland-forests, plains-forests, mountain-forests, 
tundra-forests, etc.  But the sprites themselves I do not understand 
(for instance grassland-forests).
Am I correct in believing "forest" and "jungle" are no longer a real 
terrain type, but more of a special?
Other questions:

- Can anyone confirm that there is no arctic terrain in civ3?  (Note 
arctic is different from tundra.)
- Can anyone confirm that, in fact, the map generator does ensure no 
more than 3 different terrain types can border each other at a corner?
- Assume the above is true, is it then impossible to transform terrain 
so as to violate the terrain restriction?
