- I did [u]not</u> change desert tiles next to a river in Ethiopia and Kazachstan into floodplains, because it is visually obvious that it is in fact desert. Besides, those areas really are barren wastelands and adding floodplains would rape reality even more.
Imo it's these kinda tiles that can be upgraded without losing feel for an Earth map. Same for mountain ranges like Rockies, Andes and Himalaya. Replace the mountain tiles on the edge with hills and it becomes more playable while maintaining an Earth feel.
