The * key is for minor adjustments, like 1-3 or so height units. It adjusts base ground height.

A hill is 10, and a slope is 5 units.

There are no multi-story buildings (and never will be) - a building hex is a built up area is all. Built up area hexes have a standard height add - 2 or so, less than trees IIRC which is considered in LOS calculations. (Which is not reported in the mouse over, as that reports base ground height).

So all the * key does is add a micro-ridge or micro-depression if you use it to add 1 or subtract 1 or maybe 2 from base ground height.
