- Lava regions need LOS blockers too. People often forget this because glaciers and trees don't fit with it well, but without some ruins its too easy to use range and simply ignore the terrain.
- Molten lava doesn't need to be on the low ground. Making it even or higher makes it just as impassible as before, but allows the Obsidians to utilize it more effectively. An attack of 5 is a pretty terrifiying after all.

Thanks for the advice, Eclipse! I love using the lava terrain and always try to find a way to work it into my maps. I mean, why would you not try and use the assets given us? Plus, I really like the Obsidian Guards
