Unusable Creature Locations and Errata
I've got a couple of tiles with creature locations over lava or mountains. Does this mean they are unusable since lava/mountains are impassable.
Note that I assume the terrain has a effect for all locations/castles. Is that an incorrect assumption?
I also noticed that the Ankh of Life say "resurection" 4 times instead of "resurrection" and the Crystal Figurine says it can be used as if you had "contol" of a crystal mine.

If a creature dwelling *appears* to be unreachable, it probably can only be accessed by a flyer. Just break off a few flyers from your army to define and fight for the dwelling. Since it's not a location, you do not need a Hero to claim it or recruit from it.
Your point about resurrection is the misspelling?
For all locations, whomever was last to *touch* it controls it. If you do not choose to leave a garrison with your mine, anyone can come by and take control of it. Thus the clarification "control" of a crystal mine.

Yeah there are numerous editing errors throughout the game (forest spelled forrest, town/location counters reversed in rulebook, etc).

You'll find errors all over the cards.

First, be sure that it's lava and not a Field of Glory since they look similar. Second, if the flying army is going to purchase the creatures, then the dwelling must be flying creatures and the flying army can't stop on impassible terrain so you'll have to buy them as you fly through.

Also, is the creature dwelling in Lava or is it Hot Volcanic or Scorched Earth? Only Lava is impassable. As for being in the mountains, I've looked over the tile sets I have (I am missing one) and don't see any creature dwelling that appears to actually be on a space that is an impassable mountain space. Near mountains yes. Are you sure it's on a Mt. space?

In the water tile set, the tile that also has the Enchanted Stone has a Creature Dwelling on a Mountain hex.
In the same set, the tile that 4 hexes of lava on it has a creature dwelling on lava.
Those are the only two I see. Any of the others are probably Field of Glory.
Since they are creature dwellings, they can be claimed by an army stack I assume. I suppose you just can't end your move there.

I have that set; it is definetly Lava...
Weird, that it is going to be claimable by a flying unit only...and the dwelling must then be a flier unit as well...seems pretty chinsey.
imo.

I'd say it adds a little somthing to deck building. We each get to bring a tile to the game, so this is just another example where deck design comes into play. Just like an tile whith an island on it....
