Having posted in the bug forum about an errant jungle province in Victoria, I now post here with suggestions on how to change the terrain.
Although Oceania is hardly the highest priority for attention it remains the only area of the world with generic terrain (all grasslands) and it would not be difficult to change.
I will list the terrain types and what provinces should have each along with a reason for such. The province ID list here: http://www.eu4wiki.com/images/c/c9/Province_ID_map.png is helpful for this. I also refer to the Koppen-Geiger map here for justification: http://koeppen-geiger.vu-wien.ac.at/pics/2051-2075_B2.gif
Australia
Forest:
1085 - Tasmania even today is half covered in forest, and before settlement was even more so.
Woods:
2734, 2735, 1092, 1094, 2727, 2733 - The majority of the east coast of the continent and the south western coast of West Australia are wooded to greater or lesser degrees. This open woodland is not as thick as Tasmania, but still noticeable.
Grassland:
1084, 1087, 1090 – The plains around Perth, Melbourne and Sydney are fertile and relatively well watered. They are the sites of 3 of the largest cities today and form naturally good areas of settlement.
Drylands:
2736, 1088, 1089, 1091, 1086, 1093 – Once one passes outside the most watered areas one comes to regions which are prone to drought and used mainly for irrigation farming or stock raising. In this way it is similar to similar terrain in California and Spain. This area is productive, but not as much as the coast, and it is very flat.
Jungle:
2731, 2732 – The Daintree rainforest of far north Queensland is still an imposing and beautiful sight. It was even more so before settlement. This area receives very high amounts of rain and has thick jungle.
Savanna:
2728, 2729, 2730 – The Northern Territory and west coast of Cape York is tropical, open areas classified as Savanna. In terrain it is most similar to tropical Africa. It is not as productive as the lands to the south due to the wet and dry seasons.
Coastal Desert:
2726 – The area around Geraldton has only a thin band near the coast before stretching into the desert.
New Zealand
Mountains:
1109 – The central mountain range of the South Island is still today hardly settled and forms an imposing barrier.
Forest:
2738 – These areas are even today are very heavily wooded with old growth forests.
Woods:
1246, 1108, 2737 – These areas of the North and South Island were quite well wooded before settlement, but not as thickly as other areas.
Grasslands:
1106, 1107, 2739 – The remainder of the North Island has broad grazing lands perfect for stock and crop raising.
