Initiate a battle where one side gets a terrain penalty but has a better maneuvre general, the terrain penalty is not reduced/negated.

I'm pretty sure that this is working as intended. I don't know if this was different in very early versions, but I have played this game since version 1.22 and a better general didn't remove the terrain penalty in any of those versions. He only removes river crossing penalties

You seem to be right. I was convinced that it was supposed to remove terrain penalties too but according to the wiki this is not the case

Hello there! The present is a design choice and not a bug. If you have any questions about it, don't hesitate to ask about it on the main forum for the game.

AFAIK in very early versions battle terrain was randomized with each province having a list of possible terrain types and probabilities for them. Likely high-maneuver generals literally made favorable terrain more probable at that time and the tooltip is left over from then.

and the tooltip is left over from then.

Which tooltip are you talking about? Is there a tooltip in the current game version which says that maneuver impacts the terrain penalty?
