This is not entirely unrelated to an idea which sprang forth in a
brainstorming session at 2 am about 3 years ago... The idea of dynamic
terrains.
Different terrains would display varying degrees of resistence to
"trampling" -- that is, the more frequently any thing moves over them,
the quicker a "path" is formed. Some terrains would "heal themselves" up
quicker than others -- ie:, a meadow would grow its grass back up within
a week of disuse, but would also be easy to form a path... compared to
drier climes, where it takes months to smooth out and depress a path in
the hard-packed earth.
Just thought I'd toss that general idea out :)
