Yeah, I just copied the old one over. I think some of the biomes and symbols may have changed, so the page may need further updates... Definitely there are differences with how colors are used, and they are not nearly as universal as they used to be. Ex, purple still is "haunted" or "terrifying", but red can mean red sand, volcano, or "sinister" depending on context. However, I think that with the new more detailed info on the location map this legend is less important. | Yeah, I just copied the old one over.

Need to update the templates on this wiki. Also, this needs to be updated with any new biomes and volcanoes and the such. Schm0 23:05, 30 October 2007 (EDT)
Kylith uploaded them and added the volcano tile, much obliged. :) Schm0 10:07, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

Subterranean feature symbols[edit]
For those of us who play with subterranean features visible, would it be possible to have a list of the symbols used for things like underground rivers?
detail question[edit]
What does a blue Omega mean on the world map (not region map)? I was hoping for a dwarven fortress/civ but thers none in the regions of that tile, and, more puzzling, no uncommon feature i can discern at all..
I am also wondering if the tile definitions given hold true only for regions or also for the world map? --Höhlenschreck 10:39, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
