We need a data driven way to represent terrain tiles within the system. We've pretty much already accomplished this before in CWT Alpha 0.35. You can see this here:
https://github.com/ctomni231/cwtactics/blob/gh-pages/0_3_5/mod/cwt/tiles.json

A similar structure for the updated version will be helpful. We can either choose to store this in code, traits, or as separated JSON files.

• Load in terrain data into the game by any means

I would like to separate the issue. this issue should only introduce the loading mechanism only. :)

[ctomni231]

Okay, so in other words, we are aiming for functionality rather than data storage.

[Tapsi]

both, but if we add data now, then we have to support it. e.g. we have to change all data when we change the data structure. cause of this I would suggest to add only the functionality plus one or two test tiles/units only. :)
what do you think ?

[ctomni231]

Yeah, a small subset will be great. I only want us to start thinking about the structure, because it'll get messy if we don't start early.

[Tapsi]

yeah it's probably a good time to add data structures, since we have a map now
