<p>Then, when the landscape has developed - the areas of forest, scrub, open meadow, moorland, savanah and desert are determined, the rivers plotted, the settlers moved in, their trades determined and their settlements allocated, the roadways which link settlements routed, river crossings and ports defined - the proving process ends, and the world is turned over to the plot-writers, quest builders and designers, for a process we can see as analogous to kneading.</p>

<p>In this sense, the ‘biome map’ is just the end state of a <a href="../../2014/08/modelling-settlement-with-cellular.html">Microworld</a> run. The ‘biomes’ include things like ‘forest’, ‘scrub’, ‘heath’, ‘pasture’, but they may also include human settlement, and even settlement by different cultural groups.</p>
