Terrain types

The type of terrain varies across the campaign map and can affect army movement. Sufficiently hostile environments can cause attritional casualties in armies trying to move through them.


 * Rivers, mountains and dense forests restrict movement across the campaign map.
 * Armies can use their zone of control to block narrow passes.
 * Roads that cross the landscape usually provide the fastest and safest method of travel.
 * Terrain type has a big effect on the success chance of any ambush laid there.
