  • Plains
Land units can move at maximum speed across plains but it offers no coverage or protection.
  • Forest
Forests offer the best concealment for your units and structures. Riflemen (Infantry and Commandos) get a firepower bonus in forest-combat. All units travelling through forests move significantly slower, especially in mountainous terrain in territories that you do not control. Keep in mind, it also takes 50% longer time to build structures in forests. Takeaway: Use forests to hide units and structures.
  • Mountains
Mountains also hide your units, but not as effectively as forests do. All units get an armor (“survivability”) bonus in mountain-combat. For a Defending unit, this armor bonus will be substantial. Mountain-travel is very slow: Only 50% of normal speed. Keep in mind, it also takes 67% longer time to build structures in mountains.

Takeaway: Mountain defenders are very strong!

  • Sea
Only sea and air units can travel across sea and those units require energy to move.
