How to get your rivers in the right place

[RonnyRulz]

We have had so much talk on this subject and so many maps fail this point that there is a River Police badge now for officers of the CGuild to catch miscreants in the process of making a map with duff rivers.

We have stated many times that water flows down hill and others, especially Waldronate, have given a list of points that must be true for water in a non magical and natural terrain and yet we still have those maps coming in.

THANK YOU!

This was one of the best written, easiest to understand articles I've ever read. Especially considering the complex science of river formation, I cannot believe how easy this was to learn thanks to the author's ability to write so well, concise but detailed.

Knowing how rivers form IRL and the Do's and Dont's of the river police, actually made it EASIER to add my rivers in my map.
It would have been a headache to just randomly place them around the map, and very hard to look natural.

Instead, it was easy! So easy, and on my FIRST attempt they looked professional!

I cannot thank you enough for this article.
