Bug Description

I noticed a major bug in the game when i scroll through the maps, the hills can go away if you throw a scaffold in the edge of the hill

( which it's sound fine ) but if the players continue of doing it, it end up cause major problem to a big island itself, it can disappear the huge hills and miss up with the island terrain make the unit's of enemy suffer from huge ground lol ) it's affect the passable area - Pagasa Fortress - Bloodrock and other maps suffer from that issue

Reproduction Steps

1- play any map that has huge island with terrain lead to it ( Pagasa Fortress - WBC for example )
2- Build the scaffold in the edge of the hill
3- continue to do it, the holes will be bigger and bigger
4- miss up the terrains of the island and the map

It's a very useful thing on custom maps when you have a lot of uneven terrain and want to build more structures than map author intended. But I agree that it's not an intended behavior. I also feel that this issue should be properly discussed

Note: Fixing this behavior may break the ability to remove destroyed civilian structures by placing building scaffolds on their corners(my theory)

You can not really abuse it in a usefull way except for making some areas on the map flat.
If you want to abuse it soo much it will take you alot of time and effort.

Also the changing of the terrain I think is intended to happen. It need to be done so it doesnt update visual for a player until they scan the area and it can be slightly fine tuned so the affected area is slightly smaller then the hitbox of the building so you can not abuse to make these steep cliffs were units are unable to fight until driving off the cliff.

I agree with @DrGoldFish1. Maybe some small mounds can be terraformed, but steep hills should not be affected like its shown on last screenshot
