the toplevel [terrain] tag

the [terrain] tag describes a terrain in WML. Terrains are usually described in the terrain.cfg file

the [terrain] tag has the following keys and subtags

• image an image used for this terrain in the map editor
• symbol_image appears to work the same as image - clarification is needed
• adjacent_image a prefix for adjacent terrain images. they will be postfixed with the orientation of the border to give the image name that will be used for the border terrain
• name the name of the terrain
• char the character used to represent this terrain in maps and scenarios
• aliasof characters representing terrains that this terrain will be an alias of. (i.e. Units' defense and movement on this terrain is equal to their best defense/movement on one of these aliases.) (All terrains are aliases of themselves.)
• unit_height_adjust how much the unit graphic should be moved up or down when on that terrain
• submerge float, between 0 and 1: stems how much of the unit graphic should be submerged by the terrain
• no_overlay whether this terrain should be overwritten by other terrain's borders; 'no_overlay=true' terrains are not overwritten.
• light if set to true the text on it will be written in a dark color instead of a light one. This is useful when the terrain is either very light or very clear (like snow).
• heals if set to true a unit on that terrain will be healed at the start of every turn
• gives_income if set to true, this terrain will give income every turn when flagged as if it were a village
• recruit_onto if set to true, it is possible to recruit or recall on that terrain
• recruit_from if set to true it is possible to recruit when a unit that can recruit is on that terrain
