Terrain penalties with different levels of Pathfinding

Terrain	None	Basic	Advanced	Expert
Dirt Grass Lava Subterranean Highlands	100%	100%	100%	100%
Rough Wasteland	125%	100%	100%	100%

Swamp	175%	150%	125%	100%

Movement penalty is a term referring to the increased consumption of movement points when a hero moves on swamp, snow, sand, rough, or wasteland terrain. With Pathfinding secondary skill it is possible to completely eliminate penalties from different terrains. Movement penalty will also be ignored if all creatures in the hero's army are native to that terrain. Additionally, roads negate all possible movement penalties.

Having at least one Nomad in your army will remove the movement penalty for sand.

Visiting a Trailblazer will cause the "penalty" of 75% on wasteland terrain for the rest of the week, making it effectively a bonus.
