3.5. Savanna

Region:

(none)

Characteristics:

An inter-zonal map between better watered mountain and desert or desert and tropic
A map characterised by broadly spaced clumps of trees which are a mixture of oaken-leafed evergreen, deciduous baobab, palm type trees and scrub type plants
Typically a rather flat plane map having an occasional hummock rises here and there.
Relatively open but does have occasional ‘strag’ trees and rocky outcrops here and there.
Note that Savanna biome maps are limited to elevation heights of mid-level and below, low-level.
Rains are predominantly and frequently heavy in summer but never snows, dry 'winter' season.
Savanna has very little water on it though it may have an occasional lake, stream, or river and dry sandy or muddy lakebeds with water holes; streams may run for wahile and then empty into shallow marshy lake having no outlet to the sea in some cases.
It is very green during the rainy season and for awhile thereafter (Autumn) but rather sere at other times of the year.
It is well endowed with animals including dangerous ones.
Somewhat light on forest and stone but good for ore.
Defensively or agressively the map may be fairly well balanced to open to aggression.

Typical Savanna type variations:

Fortress
Nomadic
Herocide

Packeting Parameters:

Primary (Lowlands).

Savanna Land types:

3.5.1. Sahel

Situated southside of the Atlas mountain range in North Africa.
Is a somewhat open map having almost all of the characteristics stated above except for having no river of significant size.
Civ Territories are divided as appropriate to the map.

Savanna Water types:

3.5.2. Gambia River

Characterised by having a river running through it east to west opening out onto the Atlantic Ocean toward the western edge of the map.
The river has a few shallows crossings and is loaded with crocodiless along its course.
Riverside stone or ore seam gathering is fraught with danger.
Civ Territories are divided proportionately north and south of along the course of the river).
