Fortress "Average Bonus Range"

[jonbaer]

What does this mean if it says Average Bonus Range @ -6 meters?

[fatherbushido]

It means that as your fortress is lower (it checks height in 8 direction iirc) than what is around, you have a range penalty.

(You can have a bonus too).

@fatherbushido I noticed this average bonus range on organic range units lately too. I knew it's about terrain and elevation.

Now if applied to buildings like forts and towers or any range structures can this average bonus be available before planting the building/structure? This way we could know whether there is a penalty or bonus.

It is.

(Notice that it takes into account the intrisic elevation bonus of those structures, not only the terrain one).
