I had the same idea for the Berserks in Creation's Homeland map. I felt that there should be some advantage for the northerners fighting on their own turf so to speak. In most wargames, Scots are usualy much faster than any other units in mountainous regions, perhaps the zerks in Homeland should have been able to move past the trees easier or climb the snowy hills.
