 Designing [[Movement Limitations]] consist on deciding how to negatively modify [[Movement]], and can be applied to both [[Real-Time Games]] and [[Turn-Based Games]]. In [[Real-Time Games]] they typically take the form of making [[Maneuvering]] more difficult or decreasing speeds. In [[Turn-Based Games]] one can create [[Movement Limitations]] through the using [[Budgeted Action Points]] and having different costs for different players and for moving over different types of terrains. For both cases, [[Movement Limitations]] can also be constructed through introducing [[Environmental Effects]], [[Inaccessible Areas]], [[Obstacles]], or [[Traps]] into [[Game Worlds]] (and one possible effect of [[Environmental Effects]] in [[Turn-Based Games]] is to increase the action point cost to move through them). [[Shrinking Game Worlds]] are an example of providing [[Movement Limitations]] by slowly but surely making more of the game area into [[Inaccessible Areas]].
 [[Area Control]] by other players and [[Zone of Control]] effects caused by these can also cause [[Movement Limitations]]. In [[Turn-Based Games]] this is typically governed by rules forbidding movement, increasing movement costs, or making [[Units]] moving into the area under control stop their movement. In [[Real-Time Games]] the [[Movement Limitations]] are instead often implicit and enforced by threats of [[Combat]]. An exception to this is when the aiming possibilities associated with a game's [[Variable Accuracy]] require players to be stationary to be able to aim (and in some cases fire) at all.
