Knowledge Area Proposal: Terrain Strategy

No tags

Svala has a point in Knowledge: Geography. I am proposing Terrain Strategy, that is, the way that different geography and terrain affects war and fighting.

It would be used to answer questions like "What will be the impact of knee deep swampy water on how fast someone can move?", "How does the mesa-like terrain of Arkaudon affect the supply of water to the city?" and "If I am here, and the enemy is over yonder, who would have the tactical advantage"

I am aware this has at some level a degree of overlap with Survival or Knowledge: History.

Note: Though Svala would have knowledge like this from Ilfreann, this is NOT a request / proposal for a legacy knowledge area, it is a regular Knowledge area received from Knowledge: Geography

Since this proposal is contentious, I have made a new Knowledge: Geography area proposal: Aerial Geography

It can be used to answer questions like "what is that formation" when observed from high above the ground, to navigate by air without the aid of roads, to find the direction of the nearest river by observing the landscape, and so on.

Here there is some degree of overlap with Survival and Fly, but I feel those cover different aspects.
