Default So what do these things mean in the map editor.....

The province attributes...mountains...forest...wasteland...etc

I can guess what farmlands and large/small province do...but could any dev provide a more detailed description?

mountain - good for resources and magic sites, bad for money
forest - same as mountain, but less so
farmlands - good for money, bad for resources and sites
swamp - just plain bad
waste - good for magic sites, bad for money
sea - good for atlantis
nostart - no player can start with their capital here

Another important thing is that movement is more difficult in certain terrains.

So freshwater is a tag you would add to show things like a river province? a province that is only partially water? Increase in wealth but also a chance for things like flooding. (for some reason I was thinking lakes)

you can receive the flood only in these provinces, or also in provinces adjacent to them?

Only in freshwater. Many events are linked to terrain or seasons.
