I have a list of suggestions to be added to/changed in the Shire.


 * I think that the Shire Moors should be renamed to Shire Northfarthing and have slightly more hobbits in it. Hobbit holes would spawn there occasionaly as well. Dunedain towers don't really belong in the Shire, since the Dunedain only guard it and rarely set foot in the land itself. The Northfarthing would also have a slightly increased chance of being replaced in places by Shire Woodlands, as well.


 * The Shire also has several large wooded areas, particularly Blindbale Forest in the western Northfarthing, the Woody End between the East and west farthings, the Green Wood in the Southfarthing, and the Westwoods in the southern Westfarthing. These would be put on the map.


 * Shire Marshes would become a small sub-biome in the Shire, appearing from time to time, although smaller than the woodlands. They would also be a small land on the border of the Shire west of Sarn Ford. (Towers would no longer spawn here as well.)


 * The rest of the area that previously was the marshes would become the Southfarthing. This would be a flatter version of the Shire itself, with more farms, slightly less windmills, hobbit-holes, and hobbit taverns. There would also be Hobbit Plantations (like my previously suggested and archived Nurn plantations) in which countless farmers farm wheat, lettuce, pipeweed, carrots, or potatoes.


 * The normal Shire would stay the same, with the addition of the occasional Shire Cottage, which would be small, non-hole houses described in the book.


 * The western border with the Eriador Downs would become the Westmarch, where there are more cottages and windmills, no hobbit holes or picnic benches, and the occasional tavern or farm.


 * The easternmost part of the Far Downs would become the White Downs, in which no Orcs spawn but no Hobbit structures spawn either. Ruined towers can be found here, along with the occasional Ranger or rare hobbit.


 * Finally, the land east of the Brandywine River would become Buckland, which has very many cottages, no hobbit-holes, a few taverns, fewer farms, several windmills, and Buckland houses, which would be larger than cottages.

I obviously approve of these suggestions. Mevans, Sinthoniel, Sreades, Beijing1000, everyone else, what do you think?
