This guide contains the following information.

The following table lists all terrain that provide some kind of defensive bonus. All units standing on the following tiles will receive their respective bonuses, except that fliers will only receive the effect of Forts/Gates/Thrones and none of the listed Avo/Def boosts.

All tiles have a cost to traverse for different classes. The most common cost is 1, this is the value for tiles like Plain, Road, Floor, etc. Every time a unit moves and traverses a tile, the movement cost is subtracted from their movement stat. A unit can only move to a certain tile if their remaining movement stat is greater than or equal to the movement cost. For example, Forest tiles have a movement cost of 3 for Cavaliers. Assuming a Cavalier has 7 movement, they will be able to cross 2 Forest tiles (-6 total movement cost), and then any tile with 1 movement cost such as a Plain. They would not be able to cross 3 Forest tiles.

The following table lists the terrain costs for all classes and all terrain. Movement costs are grouped by class similarity, which are shown in the table headings.
