Terrains Plains Pop based economy Chief Advantages: +15% pop max, +40% food, +20% speed, + 10% attack Their pop max and food bonuses means it's cheaper for plains to support large armies Their speed bonus speeds their leaders home after battles Chief Disadvantage: -10% defense Recommended for any race other than human and any class other than Magi and Feudal Hills Mining Based Economy Chief Advantages: +10% defense, +45% mining Chief Disadvantags: -10% speed Hills can support larger armies than mountains, so late game they are more efficient on the same land Mountains Mining Based Economy Advantages: -40% speed, +25% defense, +75% mining Disadvantages: -40% speed, -30% food, -10% population, -10% crime rate The speed is a double-edged sword, one, it slows down your leaders, meaning you can't attack as often, so it's disadvantage. But, two, it slows down people who attack you, which discourages many players. Supporting a large army is costly for Mountains players The nice thing about playing mountains is you never have to rob iron Coastal Pop based Economy Advantages: +10% speed, +10% attack, +10% taxes, +10% population, +30% food These advantages means you can support a very large army on Coastal. Disadvantages: poor mining and lumber production, so, you'll be stealing iron This is a good terrain for non-humans who are active and think they'll have a lot of land and nw later in the game. Barren Mining (or pop) based economy Advantages: +35% attack, +20% speed, +10% taxes, +30% research, +10% crime rate In addition: When attacking monters Barren players will receive their terrain bonus When attacking players they will take extra land Disadvantages: -35% food, -25% lumber, -15% pop max The disadvantages make growing and supporting a large army difficult and cumbersome This is likely the most dreaded terrain, and with it's many advantages a very common terrain Forest Pop based economy Advantages: +10% Defense, +25% food, +75% lumber, +25% crime rate, +10% research Disadvantages: -10% mining The real weakness to forest is the lack of a speed bonus, meaning you can't make as many attacks per day as a plains or barren player Notes: Crime Rate affects spy and thief production. Positive Crime rate is better.
