[Suggestion] Earth Magic - Landscaping homage to Populous

from Elemental Forums

I can't begin to say how cool it would be to have some landscape control as an Earthmage as a nod back to the original Populous.  Obviously there would need to be some big limitations (and Expensive), but the possibilities are pretty awesome IMHO.

Who needs boats when you can Raise a land bridge?

Lower a mountain into a hill so as to sneak attack an enemy (or create a mountain pass)

Lower a cliff which converts it to a beach front

It was mentioned that this will be possible with spells.

it was sort of possible to do land bridges in beta 1. I never could actually walk across them though...

Ide is good, Contrling the landscape while rushing forwards your troops. Don,t need tactic when got powerspell at hand. Just wipe the flank, flood the rear and spill some lava on front foes . . .

Then i go to sleep for about one month :D

I really like this idea! The ability to create a mountain pass via magic would definitely alter gameplay strategies.
