Agate & Kastet
Agate
Have you ever wondered how the kind of stone you’re fighting on can change the whole feel of a battle? I’ve been looking into how different rocks affect movement, cover, and even the durability of gear. What’s your take on that?
Kastet
Sure thing, I've seen that. Rough, rocky ground makes every step a gamble, slows you down, but gives good footing for a charge. Flat stone lets you slide, gives you speed, but not much cover. And yeah, gear can get stuck in gravel or wear out faster in dusty stone.

Exactly, the texture really sets the rhythm of a fight. I’ve noticed that some granite outcrops actually have small fissures that can catch a thrown spear or a dagger, turning the ground into a natural trap. On the other hand, a smooth slate field lets a unit glide, almost like skating, which can be a blessing for rapid advances but a curse if you need to stop on a dime. Have you seen how dust from fine silicate rocks can clog up your weapons or even cloud vision? It’s the little details that decide who ends up standing.
Kastet
Yeah, I’ve seen spears snag in granite fissures. Dust from fine silicates is a killer too—blinds you, drags up your weapons, makes every swing count. It’s the little stuff that can turn a win into a loss.

It’s the small, often overlooked quirks that keep me up at night—those tiny grains of quartz that can grind down a blade’s edge, or that sudden rockslide that flips a whole squad. I love dissecting each of those moments, because they’re the hidden variables that most commanders miss. What’s your favorite rock‑related tactic?
