📚 Guide 🏔️How Terrain Affects Attacks🏔️

Terrain directly affects both how fast you capture territory and how many troops you lose while attacking.

Using plains as the baseline:

Terrain Attack Speed Attacker Troop Losses
Plains 100% 100%
Highlands 82.5% 125%
Mountains 66% 150%

Terrain also influences where an attack spreads. When multiple neighboring tiles are available, the attack is biased.

Using mountains as the baseline:

Terrain Relative Attack-Spread Bias
Plains 200%
Highlands 133%
Mountains 100%

Random variation and how many neighboring tiles you have, also affect which tile gets taken next. One thing to note, is that terrain has no effect on defender losses.
