As far as I know (though you'll want to get this confirmed), most, if not all, Sweboz units get a combat bonus when fighting in woods. Spear units get a defense boost (again, this is if I recall correctly) when fighting against cavalry in any terrain.
Thanks frontline. I guess i should just stay away from them. Or stay in the woods. It is frustrating though. Which type of factions would fare well against them?
