As I will go to sleep within 30 minutes, and be back only 20 hours later ... I wish to leave some guidelines for all wiki editor enthusiasts who may wanna have a go at the biome pages and more. I quick checked some relevant things in the code and wrapped it up below. Thsi thread can be used to update each other on these subjects and 'claim' the editor in chief role for related pages.

Biomes
The new update introduces 3 new biomes. This means we must change a number of biome pages.

Here's the map detail containing Dale, Dorwinion and the Emyn Winion (former Wilderland Hills).



In the code Dale and Dorwinion are new biomes and Dorwinion has a sub-biome, the Dorwinion Hills. I assume the Emyn Winion is coded as the Dorwinion Hills and is therefore a sub-biome of Dorwinion. Hence: only create new pages for Dale and Dorwinion!

Biome Variant
Vineyard! Only to be found in Dorwinion, not in the Emyn Winion.

Beasts
New beasts to be added: Aurochs and Kine of Araw. Both should get a new page. The Aurochs is coded as a Common Animal, like Wild Boars and Deer! thsi means we finally get the full wild replacement of the vanilla cow! Cows are also still present, according to the logic explained on the Common Animals page. The Kine of Araw is only present in Dorwinion and the Dorwinion Hills (Emyn Winion) sub-biome. It's exceptionally abundant in the Emyn Winion!

Vegetation
There's new vegetation and crops too! Cypress trees, grapes, olives, leek and turnip. All need dedicated pages. Have a go at 'em! Cypress trees are only growing in Dorwinion. Grapes, like vineyards, are only growing in Dorwinion. Grapevine come in two variants: red and white. Olives will generate in Dor-en-Ernil, Dorwinion, Gondor, Harondor, Ithilien, Near Harad Fertile and Umbar. Leek and turnio are common crops. Both will be generating in Hobbit farms.

Of course, there's much more hidden in the code to be shared on this wiki ... we'll get to all of it eventually. I wish you all happy editing in next few days!

Final note: Thank you very much for this fabulous update, Oh Mighty shaded Lion Lord!
