Creating Ground Surface relief

This tutorial is about creating folds in the ground using the Heights brush.

This approach is ideal for modeling landscapes that do not create significant restrictions on the movement of units.

Cover
Rock and cliff entities

The tutorial focuses on shaping ravines and cliffs with sharp edges to create natural obstacles on the map.

Cliff entities can serve as strategic points and add gameplay complexity by limiting or directing unit movement.
