Plz, use this stat as a tool but not forget to see the maps too and not forget 
too adjust temperature and others parameters to get the map you want, if not 
posible to get more or less ok map for you there are maybe a problem.

about glacier this is very well controled by temperature, if default 50 is too 
low for you simply try 60!

abouy masive plain/grassland i think this can be done reducing the wetness. 
but this can push up a little the dessert, this is the price for some 
realistic map. very difficult to do a good mix but i think this will be very 
playable even with some extra dessert.

noturaly big zones of earth are forest but work of mens convert it to plains, 
this is not so extraordinary to need some terraforming.... this point is if 
it is too mach for gameplay or not?

now i has to continue working ... later
