New terrain types: holy ground and cursed ground

On holy ground the undead do -25% damage or have lower defense, or whatever

On cursed ground all other units do -25% damage or whatever.

Just the idea.

Sanctified earth instead of holy ground, perhaps? Cursed ground is well named.

cursed ground seems somewhat copied from HoMM...

i think it should just be that on sanctified earth holy does +25% and on cursed ground it does -25%.

Nah. The whole point of holy weaponry is to take the fight to unholy places.

I am not so sure this is needed. We could just have areas where it is always night/day.

Concur -- that'd be the best way to do it, and would be easily implemented once we get this thing going that allows parts of a map to be cave.

Yep. Ever wondered why those trolls keep whupping ass in the underground levels?

I['m looking forward to have the day/night terrains implemented. Any idea of how long it will take?
Dave: I remade the hybrid cave-outdoor map if you want it.
Any possibility to have a terrain that wound (maybe with a negative setting for healing?) or poison units?

or add/subtract a bonus/bogus to resistances?

It's on my list, but currently I'm working on stability problems/bugs. Uhh...honestly and truthfully, the answer is, when I feel like doing it

(this is more or less the same for all feature requests)

No. I'm pretty new to the game. I had some problems with the Dwarven Doors, so played my first underground level today

Fair enough. Get yourself some dwarves, pronto!

Couldn't we just call it Holy Ground (the appropriate term, to be sure) and have it be implemented by constant day?
