Proposed Canon

Terrain is the type of geography that defines a Hex. There are many types of Terrain, each with unique rules governing them. For instance, some Terrain Types incur a penalty to movement by some types of Units, while other types of terrain cannot be entered except by Units with a particular Natural Ability.

Known Terrain Types

The following are known terrain types. For details on each type of terrain, follow the corresponding link:

• Fields
• Roads
• Mountains
  • High Mountains
  • Impassable Mountains
  • Volcano
• Hills
• Water
• Forest
  • Heavy Forest
• Ruins
• Lava lake
• City
  • City Zones

Speculation

Each Zone might be its own terrain type.

Heavy Forest and Road may be a terrain type.

Farm may be its own terrain type, or may augment a different terrain type (e.g. Mountain with farm, Hills with farm).

Mines, like Farms, may occur randomly in appropriate Hexes, either as a separate terrain type or augmenting an existing terrain type like Mountains or High Mountains.
