I remember cracking open the level-description files for Black&White, which 
were like 1-2K of text for the entire level. Elevations, "river starts 
here", stuff like that, and apparently the game calculated where the forests 
would grow, where the river would run, how much beach you would have, etc. 
Not that B&W had large levels, but I certainly would have thought it would 
take more than a hundred or so lines of text.
