How does terrain generation work in this game?

I'm specifically interested in whether perlin noise is used vs midpoint displacement. I would also like to know how rivers are generated. The terrain looks very nice.

Have a look at the code! Describing the complete algorithm in every little detail is nothing I could (or would like to) do with the little time I have at the moment.

But – surprise – the algorithm is mainly based on Cake... Uhm... I mean Perlin Noise. :ugeek:
