.86 raise/lower land needs better visual tool

from Elemental Forums

I've tried several times to lower a mountain and create a pass between two cities. In ever case I seem to lower the wrong tile since the mountain goes away but the path remains impassible. Either the map pathing isnt updating or the tool need to be made more clear on what gets lowered. One tile per cast seems a bit small for 50 mana though I am sure we dont want this spell being overly use and exploited.

It usually costs me something like 250-300 mana to make a new mountain pass.  It can be really worth it though.

Ive used up 400 mana and still not gotten through a spot that looked easy. Obviously there is some sort of unexplained trick to it.

Make it cost 100 and affect a 2x2 area.

 

Oh and there has been at least 2 other topics about this.

I think it depends on how high the mountain is, sometimes it takes one or two casts on a single tile to get it to the right height. If you are not in cloth map mode, you will notice the tile gets a square border around it when it is passable... provided you didn't turn the grid off
