📖 Full Encyclopedia Entry ▼

Forests are the domain of ancient magic and natural abundance. Timber production reaches +40% from towering groves, Herbs flourish at +35% in shaded glades, and Elixir flows at +30% from magical springs. Food gathering (+15%) supplements farming with hunting and foraging. Research benefits +15% from accumulated natural wisdom. Defenders control the terrain with +15% Speed for ambushes and +5% Attack from concealment. However, the tree cover prevents mineral extraction: Mithril (-35%), Mineral (-30%), Coal (-30%), Marble (-30%), Stone (-25%), Dextronium (-20%), Gems (-15%) all suffer severe penalties. Elves achieve transcendent synergy with forests - their +30% Wood, +40% Herbs, +35% Elixir racial bonuses compound with terrain for unmatched magical production.
