Understood.

Basically there has to be a way to increase the amount of favorable
terrain types, i.e. grassland and plains.  Maybe another parameter
should be added so that you can adjust the percentage of fertile terrain
in the map.  This is useful and could be easily generalized.

Sorry if I came out as being too negative.  Actually I think you did a
very good job -- the map looks pretty and much more realistic.  However,
the change in the percentages is too drastic for gameplay.  It should
not be too difficult to fix though.

Keep up the good work.
