Sorry I should have been clearer.
What I mean is - select a coastal area - fail - select a village
Then - select a coastal area - fail - select a marsh
Then - etc.

The Defender may try to select a water feature (river or coast) and if he fails, he may select another terrain piece. He may try to select a village and if he fails, he may select a terrain feature other than a water feature (since he has already failed to get that terrain)

Okay, I read the first paragraph on page 75 as saying you rolled for a village at placement. I now see that it is probably meant to be understood as analogous to a water feature and that you roll at selection time. So now my question applies to both village and water....

I'm still uncertain if my question is understood. A player may select 2 to 4 features. A water feature or village must be successfully rolled for before it can be selected.
I'm not suggesting that one can roll for water, roll for a village, roll for water, ... on one selection. Rather if they fail on their first selection, may they try again on their second? (and third and fourth) - assuming, of course, that the opponent has not selected it.

It would mean the odds of getting water if you really want it are 15 out of 16. (Although the opponent might try for it themselves and lay down a minimal rilver.)

Ahhhhh.

You are theorizing that each of the 2-4 selections could individually attempt.

No.

Yeah, I am. My brain gets stuck like that sometimes...
