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.

How about the freshwater lake thing?

The freshwater is good for income.

And is a requirement for some events (floods)

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)
