dunno how this exactly works of it this a feature request or if its already possible

can terraforming on a different axis other than the standard which is done in CA and stuff possible ?

Just wanted to know if it can be done or is gonna be implemented so a Dungeon Keeper mod could be possible by using terraform to take blocks aways

I told you this is going to get you flamed, so im going to flame you for it.

Firstly, it would require massive changes to the game to allow fully 3d terrain.

Secondly, a dungeon keeper style mod is already possible as it was done in 2d anyway! Just start in a steep hole below the map. With no air transports and not enough slope tolerance, you'll never be able to get out anyway. Then just terraform on the edges of this area to bring the height down and carve your dungeon.

How about doing slopes instead of just blocks?

Like building a ramp slope / instead of just a |_| & |"| ?

Could be really usefull for building bridges across otherwise impassable terrain.

Possible, nag the mod / gadget developer about it.

Would be cool to have 3D objects such as buildings, castles, fortress and bridges to be placeable in maps. But that's heavy and as he said, would need recode.

Topics that contain the words 'read post' in them annoy me.

Out of protest, I have not read this thread

Please, in the future, do not add 'read post' to the title, because the title itself evidently indicates you wish for us to read the post, and invariably, topics that request you 'read post' in their description have little worth actually reading.

I read the post and still have no idea what's he's talking about. I think he means being able to build tunnels or something?

How about a game where you dig through the bottom of the map... winner gets 40 virgins.

Yup. Most such games are done using a heightmap. So, simply have a map that has two levels: tunnel and wall. No units can climb up from tunnel level onto the top of the wall. You make a lua-command for units to that can convert (atomicly) wall into tunnel. Thus, you have a tunnelling-based game. Was in dungeon-keeper, and also in the underground-parts of Metal Fatigue.

Probably doable with some hefty Lua, if you think that such gameplay is worth it. Personally, I don't.
