The first tile is plain swamp and the eight after it are decorative. WaterToSwampLat blends other ground against the plain tile. A swamp blend cell whose four neighbors are all swamp or swamp blend turns back into the plain tile.

The random map generator grows swamp only on mutated-biome maps, which use the temperate theater. It writes the plain tile over each water cell a swamp spreads into. It then lays up to eight decorative tiles, each only where every cell the tile would cover still holds plain swamp.

A cell counts as swamp when it holds any of the nine tiles or a WaterToSwampLat piece. The generator groups swamp with water when it divides the map into regions. With the role unresolved, no cell counts as swamp.
