terrain

I think that maybe creatures or heroes native to a terrain should get a benifit from it in battle and in amount of movement.  Creatures or heroes that are the oppisite of that terrain (fire/ice) should get a downside in battle and move less spaces on the map.  Creatures or heroes that are niether native to a terrain or the enemy of the people who are native to that terrain should be unnafected

Exactly.....

Thats what I was getting at.  This might work, but also another idea would be dividing the terrains into good, evil, and neutral.  Maybe grass snow and sand would be good.  Lava Swamp and subterranian bad. and all others nuetral. Good forces would get beneifits from "good" terrain and lose stats from "bad" ones.  Same with evil.  Nuetral forces would be unnafected either way.

Have You Guys Played SOD?

Funny that there is terrain a bit like this in SOD.
The cursed fog gives morale to evil creatures and lessens morale of good, holy ground, ect. It is ok, but not a big deal affecting gameplay imho.
I do like the new terrains such as rocklands that give exp earth ability and the other magic schools terrain.

Good idea

Thats a good idea, maybe heroes could get a skill that would allow them to cast a spell on some terrain making that terrain help them and hinder enemies.

SoD terrains

the terrains that i know of (all i have is SoD) make a huge difference.  on cursed ground, you can't cast spells, and fighting a powerful necromancer can be a difficult thing indeed.  on other terrains, your opponent might gain a very large advantage in spellcasting.  spells are cast at expert level on some of them.  while it can be used to your advantage also, it is something to take into consideration before going into battle.  if you don't have cure or dispel, your enemy could blind all your stacks and wipe you out.

or take deemer (i think it's him) who specializes in meteor shower.  put him on a fiery terrain and he could do serious damage to your troops.  the maps are carefully laid out this way.

also in combat your troops' movement is impaired if they are not native to certain terrains, and speed as you know can make all the difference.

Zilpheg,

You do realize that what Zarg is telling you are not his ideas, but the way things already are in H3. Most of the things you suggest are already present in the current game.

I really don't know about the native terrain... that would make you think twice before attacking your enemy; also in his advantage comes the fact that he is expecting you and can raise his army with "one week more troops". These are already two certain advantages, maybe too much...exceptions like in sod are acceptable, but making it general for your whole realm seems rather too much.
