Elevated terrain.

By dukncuver, in Runewars Miniatures Game

How come the stone terrace is considered dangerous terrain? There is no negative aspect for occupying or colliding with it like the other dangerous terrain as far as I can tell. Am I missing something?

I was wondering the same thing. The only rationale I could come up with was that they had to put elevated terrain into one category or the other... Or create 3 categories of terrain. It doesn't make thematic sense, but it makes game component sense.

I don't think the elevated keyword is inherently tied to dangerous terrain. We may see future terrain that is elevated but in the defensive category. I think it's just a matter of having chosen two terrain types that were the same size and shape, so they needed to be on the same card. Since each card has 1 dangerous and 1 defensive terrain, it was basically a coin flip between assigning forest or terrace to defensive or dangerous.

Originally when I saw it was dangerous and marked elevated, I thought that meant others could ignore LOS to shoot the occupiers. Oh well.

Its the high ground. Whatever ranged unit there is going to be a threat and will likely be attacked very quickly. That is what makes it dangerous.
