Towers deal a lot more damage to raiders when sitting on higher ground.
I guess the same applies to barracks/forts with the soldiers defending from within.
Anyone found a good way to raise terrain a little?
10meters / 30 feet or so should be good.

you can’t really raise the ground in this (just flatten to an average height by the looks of it) but a trick you can do is, find a spot with a little height and put your stuff on it and then use flattening to try and lower the ground in front of that increasing the height advantage in those areas.

I love the maps with like a valley between two mountains/large hills. I normally build right at the bottom of them because they most likely have all the Iron/Gold I need. Then I protect my town with towers on that said hill and the damage increase is insane. But if they have to fire UP the hill… nope thats a 0 damage. Can’t fire up the hill at all. The terrain manipulation is rudimentary at best. We do need a raise and lower terrain… Hey maybe that would allow for land bridges across water … OMG YES PLEASE!

I never had trouble dealing with the flattening tool until i began a new settlement in the arid highlands.
Theres a hard word to do to get the area around flat, and when the ground is already negative by nature itself, thats when you miss a “raising ground” tool. Flattening doesnt apply in a lot of circunstances…

You can raise the ground though - as you can raise it if you only try and rise one line of cells. Used this in a prior save to create an earth wall and currently used the rise of the ground to build my forts.

No way to raise terrain. I have asked for better landscaping tools in several threads.

I have been doing that for my fort builds in several playthroughs. Usually takes a couple of decades and you can not raise it above the starting height of the highest part of the flattening area. Needs improvement.

Wait, how so?
One line at a time…?
Yeap, just set it, and then do another one and another one and you’ll get a completely flat area.
