Editing 40d:Grassland

'''Grassland''' is a [[biome]] that usually contains lots of grass (obviously) and few [[tree|trees]]. It also receives very small amounts of [[rain]] (just slightly more than [[desert|deserts]]). There are both [[temperate]] and [[tropical]] grasslands. Humans may choose to settle in grassland areas.


== Map features ==

Grasslands often have rivers or brooks running through them. They do not have [[Underground pool]]s, [[Underground river]]s, [[Chasm]]s or [[Glowing pit|Hidden fun stuff]], as these features are exclusive to mountain regions. They still can have [[Magma pipe]]s or [[Magma pool]]s, though. It is also of note that Grasslands frequently have [[aquifer]]s, which may span as many as three Z-levels.

<p>Grasslands generally do not contain as much [[ore]] as [[Mountain]] regions. This being said, [[Iron]] is quite easy to obtain from [[Siege|non-profit charities]] that arrive after a few years.

== Creatures ==

Grasslands have a very diverse natural population. Grassland fortresses should take advantage of the wildlife, and players might even consider establishing a ranch.

Be aware that if a Grassland has a [[River]], it also contains [[Carp]] and other vicious, Dwarf-eating fish.
