Damage from "unfriendly" land-types?
I think that units which go through deserts, arctic-regions or mountains should get some damage.
Example: As Hannibal tried to get over the alps with his war-elephants he lost nearly all!
And try to go with a huge army through the Sahara. Isnt´s much fun at all...

We had a thread on this a while ago. Let's see if we could find it. However, if units get damaged on any terrain, it wouldn't be very fun to play.

I had the same idea with polar regions in the "Automatic Polar Caps" thread. It should make use of terrain more fun, I think...

How about 'Mined field' terrain improvement? It will sure help protect those remote areas from unwanted visitors  An of course, a Demining Engineer unit
P.S. Maybe this post is just the influence of a recent visit to Croatia

Doh! The idea's so obvious and so simple! The idea should be implemented through simple flags in the rules.txt. Units classified an ancient/middle ages would get lots of damage, while more modern units (with air con/heating) will get less damage. Civs with (advanced?) flight could get the damage reducef to zero because they'll airlift in supplies like they do with refugees in real life.

No, in Australia we don't live with kangaroos and koalas in our backyards...

Could this be what you're looking for?

*Extreme climates damage units. I went over this more throughly in another thread, but the gist is this; Some units (chariots, tanks, etc.) may not enter (swamp, mountain w/o roads/passes). Other units take damage as they move through (bogged down, disease, exposure,etc.) Some special units would be immune in specific terrain (alpine in mountains, tundra, marines in jungle/swamp). The special units would also be immune to movement penalties, but would not get a road multiplier. Some immune to all climates (partisan, explorer). Bases, cities protect against extreme climates.
