Terrain



In Amoeba Battle, your army will pass over a few different types of terrain. Learning to navigate and use your environment to your advantage will help you survive engagements.

Types of Terrain

 * Undergrowth- Amoebas outside the undergrowth cannot see into it. Amoebas have reduced movement speed while traveling through undergrowth, unless they are omnivores. Faster amoeba such as stingray will still be slowed, but because of their higher speed will be able to keep up with omnivores despite the undergrowth.
 * Spawning Pool- Amoebas within a spawning pool will mutate and replicate faster than normal. Units within a spawning pool are unable to see out of it. It is common for AI to leave cysts right on the edge of a spawning pool and wander else where to continue building their forces. Even if you don't intend to use it, peeking into spawning pools can help disrupt your opponents at any stage of the game.
 * Grass- Occasionally you will come across a grass patch without algae. Though they give no food benefit, the extra space can help fortify large herbivore armies and they are often surrounded by microalgae blooms.
 * Rocks- Rocks block movement and function as obstacles. Rocks can be destroyed if they are attacked by units. In Battle Royale, the areas of the map that have been hit with volcanic eruptions will often be filled with rocks.
