Your are right. as i am sayed vegetate (forest/jungle) will be a spetial
too. all future spetial will not be used in these ways. then forest and
jungle never will get Hill or Mountains until turned in specials.
Finally more basic terrains will be remains. artic(no
vegetate)/tundra/plains/desert(vegetate only if
water)/grassland/swamp(no relief?)/

i can think to move artics as a ice spetial too.

then in intermediate times the grounds terains
:TER_MOUNTAINS,TER_HILL,TER_FOREST,TER_JUNGLE will be CantMethaSpetial
flags until deprecated.
