Thank you, thank you, thank you for not having saguaros in your New Mexico village!!! (One of my pet peeves)

Great looking game, too!

I had to look up saguaros! I love those cacti, so atmospheric. Am I right in thinking they are just Arizona and Texas flora?

Not aware of Saguaros in Texas -- they grow in Arizona and Sonora I think.

Saguaro pretty much in post of the Sonoran desert – I think. I'm pretty sure we have them in California.

Thanks Yanks! I do try to get my terrain right!

Yep, saguaros are only found in the Sonoran desert (with some sister cacti found from there South). Of course today they're "stolen" and planted around various houses and estates all over the South West as a decoration --- it's actually illegal to uproot one if I remember correctly. They are hugely present in the Sonoran desert in far greater numbers than you'd imagine --- and they're a heck of a lot larger than you'll find in miniature games.
