What’s the deal with leveling the ground? I guess t never makes anything completely flat. Playing the valley map is crazy for building placement and the leveling command doesn’t seem to do anything of any significance.
Just have to keep levelling until it’s flat enough to put your building on to.
I have had good experience with choosing an area that is slightly larger than the building I want to build. However, I still have to level the area 2-3 times.
in my first attempts I always tried to level very large areas to get everything flat, unfortunately this did not work very well, 7-8 attempts and it was still not all flat…
Typically, you would get better results if you level exactly the place where you want to put your building (and not a tile more). Still, sometimes you need a few do-overs, and some hills still might have spots where placing buildings back-to-back would be impossible (however, I always could place buildings even on quite steep hills by having 1 empty tile between them).
