I checked the code to be sure and the base hilliness of a biome doesn't actually affect village generation at all. Village generation is only affected by the characteristics of the variants, not the biome itself. (Villages will not generate in a hilly variant, or in a forest variant. Hypothetically - as the generation currently works - they would have no such qualms about generating in a biome whose base characteristics are hilly or forested, but that's a moot point, because none of the current village base biomes are particularly hilly or forested.) That seems like a good solution. Also, maybe toning down the spawning of hilly variants would be nice too. Remember when you visited my castle that other day? So, from that spot until the Pinnath Gelin Waypoint, you'll only find Hilly Forests. And considering that the Pinnath Gelin biome is relatively small, then there's less room for village spawning. I'm not sure if it was a variant, though, but I think it is.
