Section

[General]

Value

integer

When omitted

25

A TerrainType is constructed with a maximum strength of -1 rather than a usable figure, and the fallback runs immediately after its section is read: a section that never set Strength — or that set it to -1 outright — takes this figure instead. [General] is read before the object sections, so the value is always in place by then.

The fallback is one-way. Once a type has taken it the stored strength is no longer -1, so a later rules layer that omits Strength finds the figure already filled in and changes nothing.

The fallback needs a section to run in

It is part of reading a TerrainType’s own section, not of creating the type. A type named somewhere in the rules but given no section of its own is never read, so it keeps the -1 it was constructed with. VeinholeTypeClass explains what that costs when the missing section is a veinhole monster’s.
