1-Climate
The northern river slows and widens until it is very wide, indeed. It flows and slowly spreads into a massive flood plain before reaching a large, marshy lake (or ocean) at the eastern edge. There is lots of sediment from the hills, and when there are floods the river would overthrow its banks and flow wild for quite some time before establishing a new course.
The Climate is still warm, but is also more moist, with the river often providing its own cloud cover due to the large amount of water. Away from the river the water table is low, and sinkholes or gullies from old courses provide water (for wandering tribes.)
Future resource appointment: Grains for the f7-8 River.
How much points is Coal/Fuel?

Terrance888: Let's say 6 points for coal/oil. Is the marsh/ocean in f9?

Yeah. Likely to be ocean, but if its a marsh the ocean will be in f10 with some hills (which would account for the bad drainage.)
Modern strategetic resources sound about right, although I would probably hope for a hot die on Turn 5- before placing much.

Terrance: I'll make it marsh/swamp>inland bay>ocean, how does that sound? Actually, that is what happens to a meandering river near my house. Wetlands, then bay and finally Lake Ontario.
About the d20 rolls, I'm gonna have to find my own dice, wherever they have gotten to. About 75% of the time the random.org dice rolls are 3's and 4's. I did about 50 rolls to make sure this wasn't just a fluke.

Random.org dice shown to not be random=lol.
Yeah, that's the kind of landscape I want, but warmer than Ontario.

Update I:IV
Link to ze map
Spoiler map :
The "Middle River" as it is lovingly known, has aptly carved its way out of the hilled regions of the west and has considerably calmed down and widened in the east, eventually forming a tropical bog before emptying into a relatively still-water bay/harbor and becoming brackish.
Spoiler OOC :

18 points total:
8 points: water in D3-D4
6 points: rivers in C3, D3, and D4
3 points: hills in D3
1 point: make the climate in C3, and possibly D4 if I can stretch it, a high rainfall area
coast curves inward in D4 around to the upper left corner of square, and onto D3. coast gently curves downward in D3, forming a gentle hook towards D4, then heads back towards D2, exiting in the upper half of the border of D3 and D2. slightly off shore of the hook is a medium sized Island half in D3 and half in D4. several smaller Island cluster around it. a few more small islands are near the northern shore.
River from C4 continues down in D4 to the the shore. small river flows to the sea from the east, exiting near the bottom of D4.
Many Many rivers in C3 flowing from the various mountains and places around it, merging into a very large river heading south to D3, where it flows into the sea. another river or 2 merge into this great river in D3 also.
Hills cover the hook and the medium sized island, with a chain of them following the southern shore west from the hook, curving towards the mountains in C2.
almost tempted to draw a map of the shore..

g8-h8 River (4)
g8-h8 Hills (6)
Climate (1)-Warm and wet. Very wet.
The southern river meanders on the eastern side of the "Spine" range of mountains and hills, sometimes forced into uplands by a cluster of wayward ridges, sometimes slowly down with a wide meander into the plains.
These hills, although low, punish the west winds from the Eastern Sea as well as the east winds from the Western Sea. Rainfall is plentiful and this river is engorged into a massive net of interlacing streams and hillocks by the time it reaches h8 heading for the h7 tropical seas.
This very warm, wet and humid area propagates the growth of a true tropical rainforest in this region, with massive vegetation holding all from the upland streams to tiny islands in the river itself.

TerrisH: Uhh, a little hard to follow, but I can work through it. If you want you can draw a diagram, but I prefer to interpret on my own.
General Olaf: If H6 is totally full of water, how can the river from the southern mountains empty into the edge of G6, at the top? Am I just confused by a typo? Otherwise, sounds good. Possibly worthy of mod's choice +1 due to it's simple goodness.
Terrance: w..what? What does the southern river do, wrap around south? I'm a little confused. From which end does it go in what direction? Maybe today is just a bad day for me to be thinking with my brain.
y-ah'all: Sounds good guys. I like the way this is shaping up- already it seems 2 distinct continents are forming.

It flows south.
Through the hills.
At first, it would have gone eastward towards that sea, but with the sea that General Olaf made, I want my river to empty into the tropical sea.
From the tip, it starts eastward, then stopped by a line of hills and goes southward among them. Near the end it goes westward through a gap in the hills and goes almost immediately into the sea. The HIlls are tropical.

Okay, thank you. So it is an eastward flowing river, then turns sharply south, then west? I am envisioning the Anatolia-Levant-Africa coast here. If that's right, then I am R E A D Y.
