Manipulate the Terrain

The terrain itself is an ever-changing part of the battlefield.

• Wreck the battlefield with craters that bog down enemy tanks.
• Dig canals to bring your navy inland for a submarine-in-a-desert strike.
• Build ramps, bridges, entire fortress if you wish.
• Burn your portrait into continental crust using the planetary energy chisel.
