Terrain Tiles
Tile capacity, terrain bonuses, and how each terrain shapes the battlefield
Every terrain tile has a maximum capacity, and two of the three terrain types give a battle bonus.
Field
Max capacity: 4 units
No terrain bonuses.
Open ground. The largest tile, so it holds the biggest armies and the largest invasions.
Forest
Max capacity: 3 units
Extra D10 when attacking FROM a Forest.
The attacker rolls one extra D10 and does NOT discard their lowest roll. A strong staging ground for attacks.
Mountain
Max capacity: 3 units
Extra D10 when defending IN a Mountain.
The defender rolls one extra D10 and then discards their lowest roll. A natural stronghold.
Summary

| Mountain | 3 | None | +1 D10 when defending in it (discard your lowest roll) |
