 ## Marker criteria
 Criteria and types of randomly added markers are below:
 
-- Battlefields - cell belongs to a state, cell pop > 2, cell height > 25 and cell height < 50
+* Battlefields: These are areas within a state that have a noticeable population, found in mid-elevation regions.
-
+* Bridges: These are found in cities located near rivers, especially where the river is not close to the ocean and the water flow is significant.
-- Bridges - burg in cell, burg pop > 20, river in cell, not adjacent to ocean, cell water flow greater than average for map
+* Brigands: Roads with high activity, usually where there’s a strong cultural presence, may attract outlaws.
-
+* Canoes: These appear in regions with rivers, representing local watercraft.
-- Brigands - cell has culture, cell road has road score > 4
+* Circuses: Found in cultural areas with developed roads, particularly near or around sea level.
-
+* Dances: These events take place in towns with a moderately sized population.
-- Canoes - cell has river
+* Dungeons: Isolated and sparsely populated regions often feature these hidden or abandoned places.
-
+* Hill Monsters: These creatures are found in highland areas where there is some population present.
-- Circuses - cell has culture, cell height >= 20, cell has road
+* Hot Springs: Located in elevated regions, these natural thermal baths are found in hilly or mountainous areas.
-
+* Inns: These rest stops appear along busy roads in well-populated areas.
-- Dances - cell has burg, burg pop > 15
+* Jousts: Held in larger towns, especially in places with a robust population.
-
