Will I be allowed to make my cities submersible? That way, they can be moved to bodies of water.

Are there still "someday" plans to allow people to use magic spells to impact terrain and biomes?

When rivers, seas, and so are completely functional units will not be able to cross them, so the system will have to search for the quickest way. That's basically pathfinding.

You guys want to kill me or what? When I saw the changed map around my capital I thought I had a virus on my pc or something... I freaked out for a few seconds!
So, I like your ideias to change the world map... I just have a small problem. My city is now completely sorrounded by mountains ( I'm a Dwarf ). Its really weird to have my caravans and armies cross treacherous mountains to get anywhere. Is this suposed to be like this? I have to say that its a little heavy to the eye.
And I have another question. What is this "pathfinding" you guys are working on?

What disturbs me, is many in my alliance have built up entire hubs and city defenses based on their surrounding terrain and low and behold, that terrain has changed. Yes, some sovereignty squares are still there but others that players may have been interested in taking, are gone. I appreciate all the hard work you do on this game but this change is a bit too much for my liking. Sorry. :(

I am liking the direction of the updates, but I am missing the mini-mountain ranges near my cities already. Now all I see is a sea of plains.  Any chance of introducing terraforming in the future?

@StormCrow:
I mean on an individual choice basis.
There are a lot of players who settled before sovereignty also and would actually prefer a random roll of the squares around them. Or for aesthetic reasons, especially since they don't choose their capital location.
EDIT: Another random roll chance, but conforming with the terrain around them.
Purely optional choice by the players on a city by city basis.

Hi Zangi, We took the position that people would be more likely to complain if the squares directly N,S,E & W around their cities changed their nature; as many people have settled in areas specifically to be able to take (eg) Sovereignty over these specific neighbouring squares - so we left these squares alone. Best, SC
