Again, in Civ 2, with a huge map supposedly representing an earth sized planet the tiles are about 200 miles across, so a mountain tile represents highly folded terrain with all its peaks and valleys. The question that might be asked is what sort of mountains are represented by the mountain terrain in Civ. Does it only represent the most rugged terrain like the Andes or the major chains defining the Himalayan area? Does it also represent the lesser mountains like the Appalachains and the Balkan ranges, or would these be more appropriately represented by hills? There are areas in China that are very rugged yet have a population density to rival that of europe's most densely populated urban areas. In fact I've often thought that there should have been an allowance to allow irrigation of mountains. Then again maybe Civ needs two types of mountains.

Yes now we are on the right tract, we can have:
brown mountian to signify soil terrain
silver mountains to signify rock terrain
black mountians to signify valcanic terrian
and red mountians to signify lots of rose bushes
