I ve noticed some downloadable maps use surface terrain like grass and snow underground. How can I do this when the only tiles available are dirt?

So called “terrain tricks” let you use surface terrain underground. While maps like this will play on any version of AoW, you must use the original, unpatched AoW Editor to make maps like this. Here s how: Put a city or other location underground. Go back to the surface of the map and select “options > player info.” Double-click on the name of the underground city that appears in the player info window that will take you to the location underground, but the surface tiles will still be available. When you re finished, load the map into the newer 1.36 editor and save it from there. Note that some players have reportedly had problems playing maps that use “terrain tricks”. Two issues in particular have been noted in the forums: Don t use Altars underground. Most change terrain in addition to their combat affect which (considering it s changing terrain that shouldn t be there in the first place) can cause problems like graphics glitches and crashes. Don t use surface water underground use
