Is it possible to limit a unit's movement ability to exclusive terrain types? For example, if you create snow-troops, these units would not be able to move at all through deserts.
One could then actually envision a series of "promotions" available to units that would expand their movement capabilities. For example, Elephant archers might be limited initially to Jungles, Grasslands and Plains but, by earning a promotion, gain access to forests, hills and, eventually, mountains. This would allow Hanibal to surprise Rome by sending his Elephants over the Alps.
