Province features

A province can have a few province features (PF) and each of them adds, in most cases, one building uniquely related to it. Very often those industries and crafts buildings provide some valuable goods. Coastal province feature is the only one that unlocks a whole district with buildings - the sea shore district. PFs can be seen in the center of the province selection panel, at the bottom of the screen.

Most PFs are randomly generated at the start of a game and a province can never lose or gain them over the course of the game. Some provinces are set to have higher chances of having specific province features, e.g. horses spawn more often in the steppes. Some PFs have geographical restrictions (there are never Vineyards in northern Europe or the Sahara), and some require others to appear (e.g. you can get silver, gold and lodestone only where you have iron).

Geographical province features - Coastal, Large rivers, Hills and mountains - are always predefined and appear in the same provinces each game. Geographical features can make the appearance of other PFs more likely, e.g. Salt deposits are more likely to be present where you have Coastal and Hills and Mountain PFs.
