	Spring already provides speed alteration, with pathing optimisation based on terrain incline. Units will always take the "road" if its completely flat and have to travel a fair distance along otherwise uneven terrain.

Spring already provides speed alteration, with pathing optimisation based on terrain incline. Units will always take the "road" if its completely flat and have to travel a fair distance along otherwise uneven terrain.

Type maps use in deformation can show distinction between terrains like sand, rock, etc. This will suffer from edges between hardness levels having different heights after deformation, however it can be somewhat mitigated by making transitional typemaps with multiple hardness levels.

Use sparingly, with obvious visual indicators in the texture image.

= Specification =
