Default Terrain effects-putting together the complete list

Does anybody knows the exact numbers behind modififiers for gold, resources and magic site chances for different types of terrain?

1. Ideally I would like to put together some small table, where each line would like like, for example:

"Farmlands - gold x2, resources x 0.5 , magic chance -20%. (the numbers I used are more or less off the wall).

I would like to do it for all terrain types.

Farmland -
Waste -
Forest -
Mountain -
Border Mountain -
Ocean -
Deep Ocean -


2. Also I would like to confirm how these modifiers are calculated, when terrain is of mixed type, like Mountain/Forest/Farmland province. Are modifieres for resources/gold simply multiplied? What about magic site chances - is only the best modifier used?


3. Finally, just to confirm it, let me list of what I remember about different types of terrain most suited for particular types of magic, and tell me if there is somethingelse that I haven't mentioned.

Waste - good for Death magic
Mountain - good for Earth Magic, Fire(secondary)
Forest - good for Nature
Coastal privinces - good for Water magic
Occean and Deep Ocean 0 good for Water, Nature(secondary)

What else?

Thanks!

I think swamp gives battle penalties to units without swamp survival.

Aren't there provinces with no terrain type? Or is that a plains?

Yes plains has no terrain bit to assign to it in making maps and such. Its considered to be the default if no other terrain is set.

Swamp does give penalties to units without swamp survival. -1 att/def IIRC.

Provinces without terrain types are plains.
