Gah, that page looks to be in dire need of some editing. Thanks for bringing it up.

As far as terrain is concerned, fighting underwater impairs troops that aren't fit for it, too, fighting in a cave makes units fight in darkness and fighting in the void results in "Dimensional overload". But it's not like specific types of units receive boni, like cavalry would be better suited instead of infantry in some kind of terrain or so.

Er, as far as I know, fighting in a cave is *supposed* to make you fight in darkness, but it doesn't actually happen.

Heat and cold have big effects, as does swamp and water.
Other effects include rain and snow and storm.
