Does Watk Lite have the same map as Cool-Toxic's WATKABOI?
That's because it's far more commonly used. Highland is probably a better alternative to upland though. I don't really know anybody who uses upland (just compare google searches).
Edit: Actually it seems highland refers to mountains, upland refers to hills.
That they do, and speaking as a native of England I think using upland makes perfect sense. It's not the most commonly used word, but then neither is 'plains'. In fact, if we could get plains renamed 'lowland' we'd have a wonderful consistency (oh, and Anglification...).
Thanks for feedback, indeed it's nice idea for consistency. Not being native English speaker myself I still think upland should be called hard terrain, but it doesn't look nice and is somewhat inconsistent even if it's what the terrain represents.
Hard terrain it doesn't really fit - it's talking more about the ability of someone or something to traverse it. A desert could be hard terrain, or a glacier. Rugged can be used similarly, but specifically refers to how jagged it is (as in not smooth). To be honest, if you don't like upland then highland would probably be ok, since mountain ranges in Britain are fairly small affairs anyway.
I've never heard the term "upland", but then I'm only an American.
I assumed this had been rejected, but why not simply "hilly"?
or hillarious
I wonder, shouldn't it be mountainous?Seriously, there's already "Mountain", why not "Hills"?
I guess you should really read the first post.
