but after terraforming ocean to land and create creating a city there
this can be!

my first patch not touch it , Jason say me to use it, and i think hi as
right, if we go generalize terrains this will be near impossible to kip
compatibility. Anyway what type of compatibility is it, T_RIVER is not
more handle at all! best to get a error o do a little script to convert
'r'->' ' if really needed.
If your want it, i can add, but is a not sense or i not understand
something

is in a separate patch #9769.

at very short time noting except allow me to do good generators code for
oceans relief. (my first one is not so much good, see it to anwer my
question there, i need you comment about it)

At medium time is part of a general terrain concept where terrains has 3
levels of relief (plains/oceans, hill/deep ocean, mountains/abyss), but
any else are as a this time to be very hardly think. probably not for
the 2.0, 

Whit sea cities this can get more interest, but with the actual default
rules-set deep_oceans/abyss are the some. maybe stat go with to be tuned
until sea cities really be included.

i am horror to do half patch to do the some thing some time later,
specially i am very bad in graphics, introduce it now will stimulate
real artist to do good graphic. when this get a real game interest, easy
to see graphics will be very important.
And do a good generator need some test. then is best to have these 3
levels from now.
