Biomes

How each biome changes production and what its village maps are made of.

Biome	Description
Greenvale Plains	Rich, open farmland. Excellent orchards and dairies, little stone and almost no ore.
Riverlands	Wide river valleys. Fishing and market gardens flourish and the soft banks hold pitch.
Highlands	Windswept uplands. Good stone and iron, hardy cattle, poor for orchards and vines.
Mountain Foothills	Rocky slopes rich in stone and ore. Food must largely be brought in.
Wildwood	Ancient forest. Endless timber and game, but cleared land is scarce.
Fenland	Marsh and reed beds. Abundant pitch and eels; the ground is poor for building stone.
Sunlit Vinelands	Warm south-facing hills. The finest wine and orchards in the realm, middling for industry.

Productivity

Multiplier on production of each resource. A dash means normal (x1). Resources no biome changes are left out.
