What does a track tile cost on each terrain, and does a hex with any water count as water?
The designer listed the water rule change in 2009 and the rulebook gives the costs.

Open terrain costs $2,000, water $3,000, mountain $4,000, plus an extra $4,000 for each ridge you cross. On the current maps, any non-mountain hex containing blue (river, lake or coast) is a water hex costing $3,000, even if the water is only a small part of it. A white dot marks a mountain hex, so a hex with water and a white dot costs $4,000. Older maps charged $1,000 more only when track crossed a river.
