Legions. Do Hills = Mountains?

In the manual 5.1.2 it says Hills are "sometimes" Mountains for some modifiers! Does anyone 100% know if Legions in Hills are given the gigantic Mountain penalty that is in their GUI? Man, this should really be clarified. Mountain effect kills Legions.

Not sure, but I think most of the modifiers are shown in game in one way or another. Definitely when you put a legion in rough terrain (rocky, forest, swamp, probably other types too) they show a "Severely Disordered" marker. The other thing is that height advantage has an effect and I vaguely recall that shows up somehow on the units card.

Seamus I believe you are speaking of tac battle in FOG II.

As for Empires, hills does not impact legions and phalanx. Only true mountains do.
