Controlling hell terrain spread

Okay, I was pretty certain that it did. Just didn't want to be completly wrong.
 
It's a shame the graphics don't change. It would be awesome if the seas turned to blood.

I...hadn't thought of that...paints such a pretty picture in my mind. I'd think it would be doable. A red retexturing of the blue, a slightly lighter one for coastal and fresh water. While we're at it, mountains could really use a graphical change, too. Ramp up the contrast and then darkening the whole thing might work.
It's not really a big issue, but it would make life so much more convenient if I didn't have to keep running mages back to some corner of my land because I missed a spot in a lake or a mountain or it managed to spread into the ocean without me noticing.
And since it's been made easier to eradicate, why not make a few more methods to spread it? Having daemon units increase plot counts (and some other evil affiliated units) could work. I know I saw someone talking about how in their modmod they were making units with unholy taint able to spread hell terrain even in good lands. Might be fun if it could be used offensively like that.
 
Some subtle change in color for oceans and mountains would be nice indeed, just enough to tell the difference - blood-red seas could turn out to be too ugly. Some orange tint to the water as some kind of poisonous algae that kills the fish, clam and crabs.

Tundra and ice are also missing their hell variants.

Neither did I, until my last game. I was the Sheaim, and made it my mission to screw up the world as much as possible. By the time the Apocalypse arrived, the Infernals were everywhere, and all land everywhere was Hell terrain. It truly looked like Hell had arrived.

Except on the seas, which were still nice and pretty and blue. Kind of odd, if you ask me.
 
Same for tundra and snow, you would think that they would evaporate when hell terrain hit it.

I really don't get why snow and tundra don't have any hell terrain versions because it looks odd when the hell terrain reaches them and they don't change.
 
Meybe tundra should thurn into a stinking swamp. After all, that's what I imagine the Firt Circle of Hell where Mulcarn once dwelt looking like, now the it's Lord and Master is dead. Or, maybe a visually distince Ice wast, or frozen desert. On oceans and hell, Vehem has made a Hell Equivalent for oceans and coast, which looks pretty good.
 
WIth permission, maybe Kael could adopt the hell terrain for ocean from Vehem?

If we use swamps for the tundra hell terrain, maybe we can have swamp demons or something, just a thought.

Mulcarn's hell was/is an infinite mountain, so a swamp doesn't fit very well thematically.

Or an infinite mountain range. Basically an infinite icy wasteland filled with mountains far bigger than anything on earth.

I also said something about ice wastes. Swamps were just an idea, since their'd be nothing to keep the place cold now that Mulcarn was dead. And I didn't know his hell was a mountain range. Just thought it had the one Mountain, Mount What's It's Name.
 
Mulcarns palace was on top of Mount Mulyr, but I don't see any evidence that all of Mulcarn's hell was mountainous.

Also, I'm thinking that Mount Mulyr is not in his hell anymore anyway. I suspect that at least his palace and the top of this mountain were lifted with him from his hell, and that he ruled Erebus from here. When Auric found the ruined Mulyr he named Letum Frigus.
 
It would be really cool if the AoI Blizzards could be progamed to apear in hell tundra and ice, and not leave it. Of couse, the team might have plans for blizards already.
