Border Mountain vs. Normal Moutain Provinces

I edit my provinces for this. Many "border mount" provinces dont have enough mountains in them to be getting mountain names or bonuses. And some have so many mountains that they deserve the full mountains designation.

Interesting note... You can flag a province as both border mountain and mountain. It shows up on the map with two mountain symbols and seems to get some double benefits.

I think I might write a little perl script to replace border mountains with normal mountains. You could choose what proportion to replace. Then you could use the map generator to produce a map with border mountains (and hence nice impassable bits), and then use the script to fix it. Would that be good?

Hmmm... Then I think I might replace about 1/3 of all the border mountain provinces with normal mountains.

The only problem I foresee with having some fraction of the border mountains turned into proper mountains is that the players would have no way of knowing what kind of mountain it was until they tried to move through it/build a fort there.

If you mouse-over the terrain icon, it will tell you what kind of terrain it is. So border mountains and proper mountains can be told apart even from distance.
