Thank you, Sir! It is a professional answer.👍

Technically they can also influence the movement speed, or any other unit property. There is a engine callback when a unit switches terrain type. The game just doesn't make use of it

is there a code that could make one unit's movement speed related with some terrain type. For example, one unit will slow down on rockyland and speed up on grassland.could it be realized by editing script.lua?

You'd need to do that in a mod, but that is possible yes. If you want to take that road you're better off asking in #modding-general on the official discord. Make sure to give yourself the modder role in #role-selection. There's a lot more activity on Discord
