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
- symbol_image: an image used for this terrain in the minimap
- editor_image: an image used for this terrain in the map editor if not defined uses symbol_image
- name: the name of the terrain
- string: this is the string that represents the terrain in maps and scenarions
- 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
- light: signed value: this will modified local light level on that hex by that amount for gameplay
- heals: signed value: this value is the amount of HP an unit will be healed at the start of every turn. (If set to true a unit on that terrain will be healed 8 HP at the start of every turn, this notation is deappriciated and support might stop at some point.)
- 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
- aliasof: comma separated string representing terrains that this terrain will be an alias of. This is a list of characters, with the + and - signs having special meanings. the string is read left to right taking the best value. when a minus sign is encountered, it starts taking the worst instead. the plus sign reverts it back to the best (note after a + or - a comma is also required. In order to include a + sign the entire line must be placed between double quotes.)
- def_alias: like aliasof but overides it for defense calculation only
- mvt_alias: like aliasof but overides it for movement calculation only
- income_description: for terrains with gives_income and owned by nobody this text is shown in the terrain description in the top bar before the brackets. This tag is optional, if not supplied Wesnoth will assume the terrain is a village and sets an appropriate message.
- income_description_ally: like income_description but if owned by an ally
- income_description_enemy: like income_description but if owned by an enemy
- income_description_own: like income_description but if owned by yourself
- editor_group: a comma separated list of editor_group ids to which this terrain belongs.
