This is a template with a wierd checked terrain type on, just open this scenario, copy the terrain type and paste it into your scenario where pleased. It will appear online as checked to anybody who plays it unlike any other terrain mod.
The characteristics of the terrain type is as follows:
Walk on it: no
Build on it: no
sail on it: no
It counts just as a cliff type although it is water according to the scenario summary!
I would like to thank Da_ork_boyz for helping me test this terrain type out!

I am NOT Reyk but I have suceeded in a few more discoveries which may help you in designing. Here is what I have suceeded in doing! I often find it easier to use the keyboard for certain commads. Especially tilting objects. It's a pain with Reyk's editor buttons.
Minimap commands - These can be done either ingame or in the editor offline or online.
] = Minimap zoom in
[ = Minimap zoom out
ctrl + tab = Toggle Minimap
Advance unit movement - Ever found those tilt buttons in Reyk's editor hard to control. Now tilt with ease with these new commands. This will only work in the editor.
alt + uparrow = Tilts unit forwards
alt + downarrow = Tilts unit backwards
alt + left arrow = Leans the unit to the left
alt + right arrow = Leans unit to the right
Fast fog of war and black map changes - These can be done either in single player or in the editor. Does not work online.
f6 = toggle black map
f7 = toggle fog
Fast camera limit toggling - Easier command to remember and press, good for guys who find it diffcult or not sure how to unlock the camera. Only works in the editor.
q = toggles camera limit
Change sun inclination and rotation - Allows you to change the sun inclination in the editor and when playtesting. Does not work online.
shift + w = increase sun inclination
shift + s = decrease sun inclination
shift + a = rotate sun clockwise
shift + d = rotate sun anticlockwise
Terrain and forest paint lock - This will make it so you don't have to hold down the left mouse button when painting terrain. If you have this on, the undo function does not work!
leftmouse + alt = terrain/forest paint lock on
leftmouse + ctrl + alt = terrain/forest paint lock off
These are all included in the download. Also included is my rotate buildings patch which allows you to rotate buildings as you place them with your mousewheel! Alot of work has gone into this so enjoy!
I will try to keep this updated if I find new commands!
