Description:
Allow Builders to Change Terrain

Tip: Due to game mechanics, terrain cannot be refreshed in real time. After changing the terrain, tile yields and type will change normally, but the model must be refreshed by reloading the save,does not affect the gameplay. This may be disappointing for perfectionists or players with OCD. Converting land into coast or lake will remove strategic resources (including those hidden due to unresearched technologies).

New Artificial Plains Terrain Change: Change coast or lake terrain into plains; Change ocean terrain into plains.
