+===== (1) HILL =====
+If a hill is rolled the player controlling the area must roll one D6 to see if the hill has a
+secondary feature:
+  - Hill is bare
+  - Hill is strewn with rocks and counts as rough ground
+  - Hill is covered with scrub
+  - Hill is also a wood
+  - Hill has a rune stone on it
+  - Hill also counts as broken ground in Northern / Hill is bare in Median / Hill is covered in scrub in  temperate / Hill is also jungle in Southern.
+===== (2) STEEP HILL =====
+If a steep hill is rolled the player controlling the area must roll one D6 to see if it has a
+secondary feature:
+  - The hill also counts as rough ground
+  - The hill also counts as a wood
+  - The hill is bare
+  - The hill is covered with scrub
+  - The hill also counts as rough ground
+  - The hill is covered with scrub
+===== (3) VILLAGE =====
+If a village is rolled it must be placed in the centre of the area. It will stand on a road running
+from A — H, B — G or C — F, whichever is relevant. A D6 must then be rolled and on a roll
+of 5 or 6, the village will stand on a crossroads, with the second road running from I — E or J — D,
+whichever is relevant. If two villages or more are rolled for, they will automatically be connected by
+roads to each other, and then one will have a road going north off the play area, while another must
+have a road going south off the play area. If a road encounters a wood, scrub or rough ground it will
+travel straight across it.
+If it encounters a wall, hedge or fence it will pass through and create a gap. If it encounters bog. fen,
+swamp, jungle, hills or steep hills it will go round them. Roll one D6. On 1 — 3 it skirts round to the
+left, on 4 — 6 it skirts round to the right. After skirting the terrain feature, the road will return to its
+original course.
+===== (4) FIELD =====
+If a field is rolled for the player must roll one D6 to see how it is enclosed:
+  - The field is open
+  - It is enclosed by a fence
+  - It is enclosed by a hedge
+  - It is enclosed by a wall
+  - It is enclosed by a fence
+  - It is enclosed by a wall
+If the field is enclosed, and no road passes through it, roll one D4 to determine on which side there is
+an opening, unless a village is on the table, in which case the opening will face the village.
+  - Opening is on North side
+  - Opening is on East side
+  - Opening is on South side
+  - Opening is on West side
+===== RIVERS =====
+Roll one D100 and if you score 25% or under a river runs across the play area. If there is a river roll
+one D100 again to determine its course:
+^ Die Roll ^ Course ^ Die Roll ^ Course ^
+| 1-2      | A — J  | 50-51    | H — I  |
+| 3-5      | A — I  | 52-54    | H — J  |
+| 6-8      | A — G  | 55-57    | H — E  |
+| 9-11     | A — F  | 58-60    | H — D  |
+| 12-14    | A — E  | 61-63    | G — I  |
+| 15-17    | A — D  | 64-66    | G — J  |
+| 18-20    | B — J  | 67-69    | G — D  |
+| 21-23    | B — D  | 70-72    | G — E  |
+| 24-26    | B — I  | 73-74    | F — E  |
+| 27-29    | B — E  | 75-77    | F — D  |
+| 30-32    | B — H  | 78-80    | F — J  |
+| 33-35    | C — J  | 81-83    | F — I  |
+| 36-38    | C — I  | 84-86    | J — E  |
+| 39-40    | C — D  | 87-89    | I — D  |
+| 41-43    | C — E  | 90-93    | J — D  |
+| 44-46    | C — G  | 94-96    | B — F  |
+| 47-49    | C — H  | 97-100   | I — E  |
+If the course of the river crosses an area of broken ground, wood, scrub, swamp, fen, bog, or jungle,
+the river will continue straight through it.
+If the course of the river crosses a hill, steep hill, village or field, it will skirt the obstacle. Roll one
+D6. On 1 — 3 it skirts round to the left, on 4 — 6 it skirts round to the right. After skirting the terrain
+feature, the river will return to its original course. If a river crosses a road roll one D6. On a roll of 1 -
+there is a bridge there, on a 5 — 6 there is a ford there. The players must agree at least one ford, away
+from any roads, along the length of the river. The ford should be at least 28 cms in length.
