Remove height maps

This isn't exactly a feature request, but a request for a feature to be taken away. I would like all support for height maps in spring to be removed.

Maps with natural barriers are too porcy. I'm tired of having circumvent mountains ,cliffs and rivers, I should only have to go around my enemy's defenses.

This is supposed to be an RTS game but there is no strategy in erecting a tiny strip of wall across an opening.

Once I spent 5 hours playing a game and eventually we all gave up because no one could be bothered to send air/transport/all terrain over the mountains to bypass the enemy defenses.

I can't imagine why anyone would want to play a game for more than 5 minutes or build something as ridiculous as a krogoth when you can just build a hundred peewees and zoom in really close for the same effect.

Thanks.

sarcasm aside, it's actually possible with some Lua 8)
