have an idea to add to the menu starting place, or in the generation of the card when you do choose the type of land
sand -
fertile land
Snow and frost

I think more to temperatures. You can choose the average temperature of the map and how fast it will change from north to south. And depending on that, the generated land looks quite different.

I belive the Airat9000 idea is for you to be able to chose in which biome will you spawn.
Now while it would be nice to be able to chose that I don't think it is so easy implementable due the way how current map generation algorithm works.
