terrain and combat

[jeffr]

I just read in one of the AAR that a battle in swamp terrain resulted in penalties for units without swamp survival. Excellent!

Do forests, wastes and mountains have the same combat effect?

Anyone know what the combat effects are?

Not atm, but since the mechanich is there now, there might be changes to this.

I was pleased to see this as well.

I would like to see terrain & survival affecting the stats.

Mountains and wastelands could encumber units without mountain survival thanks to altidute and harsh conditions.

Forests could slow down and reduce precision of units without forest survival because it's harder to move through and see in forest.

This should have a stronger effect on some troops, such as cavalry, who would find it much harder to move amongst the trees and thickets than infantry.

Mmmhm, true true.

Perhaps we could get a new "Cavalry" attribute...it could affect stuff like Cavalry suffering vs. Animal Awe, and perhaps cavalry being more suspectible to some nature related spells like Beckoning...
