"When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. And that one sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, and then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Son, the strongest castle in all of England."
A wetland is a type of Template:L, flooded permanently or only periodically. Generally they have an abundance of Template:L, including heavy, specialized Template:L-growth and a vast ecosystem. The landscape is very flat, with only occasional, small gradients. Template:Ls are abundant. Wetlands tend to form around Template:Lic coastlines, especially where Template:Ls meet the ocean.
They generally have a high Template:L table, meaning that an accessible Template:L is only a few tiles below the surface (and in occasionally unlucky circumstances, directly beneath the surface). It can be incredibly difficult to nigh-impossible to extract Template:Ls from these areas, making the long-term feasibility of a fort doubtful; it is recommend that an additional, non-saturated biome be selected as well. The stratification is often hard to ascertain, as it is difficult to penetrate the aquifer. Generally there are a few layers of Template:L and Template:L followed, eventually, by stone and rock beneath.
Wetlands with saltTemplate:L make habitability more precarious, as the aquifer and surrounding ponds are not drinkable. The water first has to be Template:L.
Specific categories of wetlands are marshes and swamps. The types of wetlands you will find are:
- Temperate freshwater marsh
- Temperate saltwater marsh
- Tropical freshwater marsh
- Tropical saltwater marsh
- Temperate freshwater swamp
- Temperate saltwater swamp
- Tropical freshwater swamp
- Tropical saltwater swamp
- Mangrove swamp
