'''Pathfinding''' is a [[secondary skill]], that reduces the [[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]], [[swamp]], or [[wasteland]]{{-wh}} terrain types. Penalty reductions from the skill level are tabulated below. Please note that Pathfinding doesn't give any additional movement points, just allows heroes to save them.

{{user commentary|
The usefulness of the Pathfinding skill depends on the terrain of the map. If you walk primarily on your home soil, [[Logistics]] is sufficient. However, if a map has vast territories very hard to pass (e.g. [[swamp]]), Pathfinding works decently, potentially even better than [[Logistics]]. Playing against [[Tower]] or [[Fortress]] is a reason to use Logistics and Pathfinding.

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 slow the enemy down very much, which gives the player a big advantage and therefore may affect the necessity of pathfinding.

=== Things that ruin Pathfinding ===

* [[Lodestar]] makes all terrains native to Cove armies {{withhota}}
