Some armies prefer to fight in dense terrain. Armies with lower aggression are more likely to be the defenders and to place terrain. Terrain pieces can be fairly large, and have the restriction of one BW between terrain pieces and board edges.
What are the odds of getting a board covered in terrain? I have assumed that a second piece will not fit once a first piece is placed, and that the attacker discards all second terrain choices by choosing an already occupied area if he wins the choice of where to place an item.
With only 4 pieces of terrain available (and 5 is more the norm except for arable and Littoral armies.) four outcomes are possible; a board with terrain in one quarter, 2 quarters, 3 quarters or every quarter. The relevant odds for each outcome are 3% for one quarter, 27% for 2 quarters, 56% for three quarters and 11 percent for all quarters.
Adding a fifth choice would raise the odds of 4 quarters to 30 percent. lowers the odds of 3 quarters to 51% and lowers the odds of getting two quarters to about 15 percent.

Unless I'm mistaken, the Picts were the defender. They should have taken the first bound. This is the opposite of DBA 2.2 where the defender got to flip elements after the attacker sets up.
The fields would have turned to mud only if the PICTS rolled a one, since that is the first command point roll of the game.

Page 11, last section if its total is half or less, Psiloi are destroyed by light horse if in going the enemy count as good, if not, flee.
I think one of your Psiloi gets a life back.
You did subtract two factors for the light horse in bad going in the woods?
The Pict 3Pk get no rear rank tactical factor against light horse.
The Mongols might have been better off as Lithuanians, they can dismount as bows.....
