One of the nice things about NC is it has everything one could want from a state. It's basically three regions: Mountains, piedmont, and coast.
The mountains are cool and are subjectively the best. Mountains 4 evar. Lots of tourism and hiking and hillbillies, but usually not the bad kind.
The piedmont is hundreds of miles of farmland with some cities in. Fairly hilly in parts, particularly the foothills. This part creates food and hosts the government, and can make for nice bicycling. (The farms do get a bit boring though, also they're mostly tobacco)
The coast is pretty great, for a hot sandy dry hell with scarce shade from the nuclear deathstar. But for people who do like coasts, this is a damn good one. The barrier islands produce this huge area for kayaking and swimming and stuff. Wild horses live out on the barrier islands. Some of them have ferries, and often you can camp out there... Which was actually super peaceful.
That's from the perspective of living here, which is cool and all. Now for tactical considerations.
The mountains are, of course, mountains. They're also home to the remains of ancient stills, some of which are apparently still in use. So that's alcohol, molotovs, and fortification. Also I think there's a castle up here somewhere.
The piedmont can grow crops, and is also heavily forested. Even the cities. Looking over the capital of Raleigh from the NCSU library, what you see is trees off to the horizon. You can tell where the roads are, but it's not trivial. We have so many trees that Duke often sets its granted forests on fire to see what'll happen. So the piedmont is camouflaged and can make countless wooden bolts and stealth archers. It's basically Valenwood (particularly the meat eating).
(I grew up there, maybe that's why I miss the shade so much at the beach)
And the coast is, like, covered in forts. Which is a fancy word for "modern castles". Layers of forts and towers (aka lighthouses) from the barrier islands in. Also a marine corps base. This is also where we would trade for anything we need (pff, like what?) and ship the goods west by train.
So yeah NC woooo!
