Terraforming:
OK so this isnt a post about tiles / beacon terraforming. the problem i see atm (unless this is going to change) is with being able to seeming terraform right down to the im-passable terrain on the waters egde around the islands. Being able to do this will mean ppl can do the following: http://i874.photobucket.com/albums/ab30 … m_0008.png
This would make the issues we seen with walls look petty lol.
Solution? Ide say make a 500m area on the coast (beach) non-terraformable. this does 2 things.
1. means a local residenct can still "mountain himself in" if he wishes
2. a roamer passing thru can still pass thru an island even if the locals have built the Himalayas.
The game play of both side remains open & all sides still have the freedom do change the land as they see fit.
To show the issue look at the following Pics:

doing this to all the TPs on an island would be like walls 1.0. exept here ive only done 1 tile. you could build a whole mountain around the TP . making the area around TPs that cant be terraformed also doesn't fix the problem.
The beach area of Gamma isands must be a Terraform free zone as i have said above IMHO.
The rest of you guys are Hacks
PS. I got my Highways & stopped playing b4 they came in & have never used them! ...... Irony much ?
