'''Pathfinding''' is a [[secondary skill]], that reduces the [[Terrain penalty|movement penalty]] for rough [[terrain]]s. A hero with expert pathfinding secondary skills treats all terrains as [[grass]], which means that the hero suffers no penalty for crossing [[rough]], [[sand]], [[snow]] or [[swamp]] terrain types. The reductions of skill levels to terrain penalties can be seen from the table on the left.

{{secondary skill 'see also'}}
Pathfinding secondary skill's feasibility rests heavily on the charactereistics of the map. On a map with very few areas of rough terrains pathfinding is useless, but on maps containing a lot of rough terrains it becomes extremely valuable. Pathfinding can always be recommended as a secondary skill for [[scout]] type secondary heroes, but it may also be valuable for the main hero(es). It should be noted, that some factions [[native terrain]]s include rough terrains which may affect the necessity of the Pathfinding on some maps.
