Spicy Terrain

One of the best aspects of the game is a cool looking/interactive table. Our gaming group tends to be a little more gung ho when it comes to using terrain on the board. We arise guilty of using a lot of different elevations, destructible pieces, and generally fill the board more than not. When it comes to more interesting options, how do you go about balancing adding attributes like hazardous, injured, burning, shielded etc. without breaking certain crews that heavily use or deny conditions?

Some of the ideas we've been throwing around included:

- concealing, poisonous mushroom forests with mushrooms being impassible, but not blocking.

- concealing, injured steam vents

- a set of fountains, one beneficial granting fast, focused or a heal if you end your move in base contact, another detrimental granting slow, injured X or damage X instead.

Even just generic hazardous, burning terrain pieces, how do you account for the existence of crews like Kaeris? Is it worth declaring traits or flipping randomly after selecting crews? Or just a gentleman's agreement?

Does anyone else use more varied terrain traits they've had luck with?

I've been strongly tempted to have corpse markers scattered around our graveyard terrain pieces as starting terrain, since it just makes so much sense for the actual graves. Obviously enormously favours Resurrectionists (and certain other crews) if they go and play in the graveyard, but like @Maniacal_cacklesays... that's kind of part of the game? Both you and your opponent know the board before picking crews, and that should be a factor in pre-game decisions.
