Additional terrain types have been a consideration for awhile,,,,,,,the problem is the "advances" MS has made to their OS rendered a critical terrain generating feature of the game unusable so to build new terrain requires I dust off the win98 box and find a 3.5 floppy that still works and build terrain
in an old DOS verson of the game then copy it to the floopy then fire up the old XP Dell because it's has a 3.5 floppy drive then copy those files from the floppy onto a memory stick then plug that into my Acer and If you read the amount of work that has gone in the last few patches you'll know why this has never got off the ground.........and none of that includes actually creating and assembling the new terrain.
Who knows one day I may wake up and do that but that day hasn't come yet because I've done this once before and I KNOW what a time consuming PITA it is.
Same story basically with slighly misaligned terrain....... a tweak needs to be made then all of the above has to be done then run it and see if it works..........badly assembled terrain WILL crash the game.
