Elevations

I don't recall any discussion about a unit's elevation above sea level. Was there any consideration about putting that info with each unit in the game? Or a topographical contour, showing elevations? Is the subject of elevation above sea level something for the future ? Just kicking around the idea.

The height map is taken directly from USGS data and so is accurate within the resolution of the mapping grid. We do not scale this to absolute elevation as their is no reason to do so. You can use one of the modding options in the ini file to display relative elevation within a given map.
