Ya maybe if the map terrain were interpreted before the beautification process were applied, it would come out with a wider spread of province types. Of course, being able to tell what province type it's supposed to be, as a player, could be tough.

So, another idea: a script that was going along and adding names to provinces, could also add the terrain types after the name, perhaps in shorthand. Just a thought.

The terrain type is assigned by dommap before we run the image through the prettifier, so the problem is really in the range I choose the dommap parameters from.

Terrain-dependant names are a good idea, but you'd have to generate the entire name from scratch, so you'd need some kind of generator for random maps. Quite doable, of course, but I've got a couple of other items higher up on the to-do list.
