Trigger options: zone, biome, region

When does each trigger fire?

• biome - Most frequent. Biomes change as terrain shifts (forest → swamp → plains). A single zone may contain multiple biomes.
• zone - Moderate frequency. Zones are named areas within a region. This is the default trigger.
• region - Least frequent. Regions are large areas containing multiple zones.
