RoadsPaved pathways that provide ground units the means to traverse maps without hindrance. They provide no defensive cover.

WoodsSmall groups of surviving trees. They provide excellent cover in Fog of War. When Fog of War is present, ground units in woods can only be seen by units adjacent to them.

MountainsMountains provide great vantage points for infantry and mech units. These units increase their vision ranges by 3 while in mountains.

WastelandsAreas of shattered earth. Only infantry and mech units can pass through them without hindrance.

RuinsThe remnants of destroyed buildings. They provide excellent cover in Fog of War. When Fog of War is present, ground units in ruins can only be seen by units adjacent to them.

SeasGentle, flowing oceans that can only be traversed by naval and air units.

BridgesBridges provide ways for ground units to cross over bodies of water. If a bridge is built over a sea, naval units can pass beneath it.

RiversWide, flowing bodies of water that crisscross the land. Infantry and mech units are the only ground units that can traverse them.

BeachesStrips of land bordering seas where landers can load and unload units.

Rough SeasTurbulent waters traversable by air and naval units. Naval unit movement is decreased when traveling through these areas.

MistPatches of dense sea fog that provide excellent hiding places for naval units. Naval units in mist can only be seen by units adjacent to them.
