Neat idea, 2-D terrain images to be used as illusions. I'm trying to imagine how illusionary terrain would work on the game table. You'd place them obviously. The players can see what they are so the game system has to support movement out of control of the owning player. I'd guess opposing troops within a 150 or 180 degree arc treat the illusions as real (maybe the owning player can make a Command or Dispel check to shake off the effects). What would the required behavior be? Troops ignore forest, march toward village, march around forest? And I guess enemy troops could be hidden by the illusion. |

The most relevant use would be a for a GM or referee. Set them up with usual terrain before players arrive. Once the game begins and players try to interact with you reveal them as an illusion or else roll to see if an actual building or forest gets put down. |
