Ok. Interesting. Would it be helpful if someone contributed a list of additional appropriate province names for various terrain?

It would be useful to me but I would break it down. Did you look at the code Ive done for that? It just has two lists. One for interesting descriptors. And the other is mostly just the thesaurus list for the type of terrain. Such as..

data "Forever", "Sparse", "Deformed", "Outgrown", "Wishful"
data "Greedy", "Great", "Lilliputian", "Guardian", "Gateway"
data "Giant", "Draconian", "Dionysian", data "Deviant", "Defiant", "Lair", "Fair"
data "Raven", "Bluebird", "Blackbird", data "Twilight", "Midnight", "Woefull"
data "Watching", "Plentiful", "Lawful", "Fruitful"

data "Forest", "Woods", "Copse", "Grove", "Woodlands", "Timber"
data "Timberland", "Woodlot", "Wildwood", "Thicket", "Growth"
data "Trees", "Canopy", "Maze", "Woodland", "Wood", "Forestry"
data "Wilderness", "Willows", "Oaks", "Saplings", "Orchard"

Running the routine gives me alot more variants than a static list would. Im thinking of adding a routine to create some random strings also just for full variety. Im shooting for having no exact matches on my Epic sized maps.

I hadn't looked at a script yet. Which one should I check out?

So so far the adjectives don't really correlate to anything yet, but just provide variety for the meaningful nouns?

And so far, the nouns only describe single traits of a province, even though a province can have multiple traits, right?
