Swamps

Olympia: The Age of Gods PBEM (Oct 4 2000)

#### 4.2.0.1: Swamps

Swamps, bogs and pits are so difficult to negotiate that they present special difficulties for the traveller.

No stack may move at riding speed into or inside a swamp province, or into a bog or pit. At best, a stack can move at walking pace.

If a stack contains animals, the difficult terrain will further slow travel by an extra day. A wagon is considered an animal because of its horses.

Knights,paladins and cavaliers receive a -50 penalty to both their attack and defense ratings when fighting on a ship or in a swamp province.
