Your country is located on a certain type of land. The type of terrain will determine the behavior of your civilians,
the strength of your army along with many other things that are necessary for your country to work in perfect harmony.
Types of Terrain:
There are 10 different terrain types available for you to choose from. Each has its own set of advantages, disavantages and
research bonuses. It's up to you to choose which one you will take.

F.A.Q.
If I'm unhappy with my terrain type, will I be able to change it?
No. Once you've made a selection, its permanent and it can not be changed.
What does it mean if a research is "always at" a certain value?
This means that the topic doesn't require you to have any research points invested in it, and it will always stay at the given value.
Combat losses count for offensive or defensive military casualties?
It counts for both types, offensive and defensive losses.
How does Swamp Marsh's probe production advantage effect my country?
By default, your Probe Factories will produce 50-110% of their amount as probes, but Swamp Marsh's advantage adds +40%
production to both those values, so you will be making 90-150% probes or in other words, 0.9 to 1.5 probes per Probe Factory.
What's the difference between power required and power production?
Both are very different. Each civilian, building and military unit uses a certain amount of power. Power required increases
or decreases the power used by those units. On the other hand, power production increases or decreases the power output
of your power plants.
