Fair enough. I remain in favour of automatic generation, but less happy about the smoothness/regularity of the rivers and roads. I saw an old screenshot the other day, with the `goat track' roads, which had a certain appeal. Thinking quite impractically of course, perhaps one day we could have roads that start out irregular, but `wear in' with traffic. Or rivers characteristic of an age of terrain--- geologically young and/or high terrain (e.g. Andes) would have fast smooth direct rivers, geologically old/eroded terrain (e.g. Australia) would have slow meandering irregular rivers. Ideas, alas, are the easy part. Cheers, Mike Pope
