Similarly, any tile with 300 or more elevation will be a [[mountain]] tile, and any tile with less than 100 elevation will be an [[ocean]] tile, neither of which form subregions with other land biomes. Volcanism is usually irrelevant for subregions, but a [[volcano]] tile adjacent to at least one mountain tile will be generated as if it had an elevation of 400, and will count as a mountain tile. | Similarly, any tile with 300 or more elevation will be a [[mountain]] tile, and any tile with less than 100 elevation will be an [[ocean]] tile, neither of which form subregions with other land biomes.
