How to use this reference
Trees supply wood and also form natural barriers that block movement and vision. Cutting through a woodline creates new routes, but it can expose a base or make a previously secure area harder to defend. Range, vision, and explored terrain answer different questions: attack range determines what a unit can hit, line of sight reveals nearby tiles, and fog rules determine what information remains visible to the player.
