ground and speed

[emmanuel]

is a feature existing about reductiv move for cathegorie
exemple :
soft ground stop tanksd ,1/4 for kbotss,1/2 for spider ,full for hover
wood ground stop hover 1/4 for tanksd, 1/2 for kbotss, full for spider
etc...
by texture caractere maybee
(seem to see that in some rts....)

When you make a map, you can define a typemap that does this. No separate category for spiders 'though.

not sure whether spiders count as kbots or vehicles in terms of terrain...kbot cos it walks? or vehicle cos it comes from adv vplant?

[FizWizz]

I think it has to do with whether they are always upright, or whether they tilt with the slope of the terrain. That would make Spiders into Vehicles if it were true

in same rts the ground texture have a movement modifier...

and i sugest to add a slop/speed modificator for not hav just max slop where the unit is full speed at 29°sloop or stoped at 30°slop

[Weaver]

There's a whole lot that could be done with the terrain and movement. But does making things more complex and accurate increase the CPU load too much? Or more likely does adding it to the todo list increase the developer load too much?

I don't think that is how it works...
Units already slow down when going up a slope.

The effects are the same whether they are going up down or across the slope.

[Min3mat]

well it makes sense for kbots, they still have to watch where they are walking downhill. maybe vehicles could have a bit more accelaration and top speed when sloping down? or is that too difficult?

Are you sure? I clearly remember k-bots slowly climbing the mountains of Small Divide while going down very fast...
