(on the other hand i failed to notice that it was dual for months, so it must have been intuitive.) I'm not even sure the dual alias thing is a good idea. What to do with the ford is open to debate. But I still believe displaying anything but the terrain archetype name is unnecessary, and slightly bad. From the plains of Weldyn to the forests of Wesmere, from the mines of Knalga to the soaring peaks of the Heart Mountains, take part in over a dozen adventures spanning centuries Play as a young prince as he flees the encroaching forces of the Lich Lords to a new home across the. It certainly would be an improvment to switch the terrain names on the display. Battle for Wesnoth - The Battle for Wesnoth is an open source, turn-based strategy game with a high fantasy theme. Why not displaying : 'terrain type (terrain name)' instead of 'terrain name (terrain type)' ?ДЇor truncated string, this would show the most important information first.ДЄlso if you don't have a unit selected, how would choose the terrain type for tiles like river ford ?ДЄnother idea would be to replace the terrain type string with an icon (then we would display 2 icons for river ford). I think it's better to leave the terrain name displayed.

I'm saying that if the extra verbage was removed it would make more sense to user certain terrains more 'creatively' I.E. (though as Guest says a scenario maker could do that if he really wanted to). I'm not proposing that the same terrain graphic be given different defense/movement values. Do we really need to verbally point out the difference between 'snow hills' and 'desert hills'? If the players aren't getting that, i think Frame and I should give up. This would help confirm to the player that the currently named 'encampment' has the same defensive value as the 'swamp ruin.' I'm proposing that any terrain that has 'hill' movement/defense should ingame be refered to simply as 'Hills' NOT 'snow hill,' or 'desert hills'.ДЄll 'castle' sets would be referred to by the same name (i'm proposing 'fortification') and so on.

The alias information still needs to be shown, as always, for the player to know the units' performance there. If they really want to, I suppose they can do a custom terrain (with a different name but the same art) to have the effect they want to. (An other issue is, that it more often than not doesn't fit the screen.)Дў) A scenario-maker can put whatever graphics to whichever use they like, I presume.
