| 6 | == Characteristics: == |
| 7 | * An inter-zonal map between better watered mountain and desert or desert and tropic |
| 8 | * A map characterised by broadly spaced clumps of trees which are a mixture of oaken-leafed evergreen, deciduous baobab, palm type trees and scrub type plants |
| 9 | * Typically a rather flat plane map having an occasional hummock rises here and there. |
| 10 | * Relatively open but does have occasional ‘strag’ trees and rocky outcrops here and there. |
| 11 | * Note that ''Savanna'' biome maps are limited to elevation heights of mid-level and below, low-level. |
| 12 | * Rains are predominantly and frequently heavy in summer but never snows, dry 'winter' season. |
| 13 | * Savanna has very little water on it though it may have an occasional lake, stream, or river and dry sandy or muddy lakebeds with water holes; streams may run for wahile and then empty into shallow marshy lake having no outlet to the sea in some cases. |
| 14 | * It is very green during the rainy season and for awhile thereafter (Autumn) but rather sere at other times of the year. |
| 15 | * It is well endowed with animals including dangerous ones. |
| 16 | * Somewhat light on forest and stone but good for ore. |
| 17 | * Defensively or agressively the map may be fairly well balanced to open to aggression. |
