I skimmed the thread but didn't see anything in reference to this. I'm not sure if it is a bug or not but it seems like it is ...
Does Hell terrain spread through water? The reason I ask is this:
I am playing a MP LAN game with my wife. The Infernals spawned nearby, and we ganged up and killed Hyborem and his city, wiping out the Infernal civilization. Fine and dandy. The Hell terrain remained, but stopped spreading for many turns. My wife's cultural borders eventually spread over onto the former Infernal area, and the Hell terrain started spreading again. We created some adepts with Life I and used Sanctify to remove all the visible Hell terrain. However, new Hell terrain keeps appearing every turn or two, including on squares that hadn't been previously infected. Infernal had been near a coastline, and the newly Hell-terrained squares are all adjacent to water and appear to be spreading down the coast. So, although there is no graphic or other indication, it seems to me like the formula for Hell terrain growth is allowing water to spread it.
Is this intentional or a bug, or perhaps I'm missing something else? It seems odd that even with no visible Hell terrain squares, the hell terrain still spreads.
