Just great info gents.

I wonder if I'm too bold in asking if there is a mod that does things like provide for defense bonuses for defenders in forest/mountains or opposite side of rivers -- movement cuts when moving through mountains/swamps or over rivers etc. Not that I'm quite ready for that before I play a lot of "Vanilla" myself, but just wondering if a mod like that has/can be done?

[Ironhawk]

Huh. I never noticed that battles in swamps imposed penalties. Guess I dont fight in swamps much. Does it effect units that have swamp survival?

[Sombre]

Swamp survival means you don't suffer from fighting in a swamp. Same with the spell quagmire I believe.

[Edi]

K, in addition to encumbrance penalty, swamp also reduces defense by 2 unless the unit has swamp survival.

[MaxWilson]

By 1 actually.

1, 2, pfft, who cares?

The only thing you have to watch for when you stack castles closely is to ensure that you don't reach or exceed 100 administration on an adjacent province with key independent recruitables, primarily a mage with paths you don't have in your national lineup. Or longbowmen for a nation without archers.

[MaxWilson]

No, that's not possible with the modding commands provided. You'd have to hack the .exe in a serious way (to a degree that's impossible without the source code).
