40d:Grassland
Grassland is a biome that usually contains lots of grass (obviously) and few trees. It also receives very small amounts of rain (just slightly more than 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 pools, Underground rivers, Chasms or Hidden fun stuff, as these features are exclusive to mountain regions. They still can have Magma pipes or Magma pools, though. It is also of note that Grasslands frequently have aquifers, which may span as many as three Z-levels.
Grasslands generally do not contain as much ore as Mountain regions. This being said, Iron is quite easy to obtain from 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.
