[General] Raising entire map

[Gauda]

Hello everyone,
i have a little problem with a map.

What i did:
In the early phase of the map i wanted to make a map nearly without the cliff-stuff and just make hills etc. with the height tools.
I already made some stuff on the map and didn´t wanted to copy much stuff so i tryed to lower the cliff to "flood" the entire map. Yes it was quite stupid and looked a bit weird but with some work it was possible to make the map look good enough in my opinion.

The problem:
For now the map works but the problem is the following:
When parts of the map are below a special level then the shadow of this unit looks quite strange

As the picture shows the shadow is over the unit.

What i think could be a solution:
Raising the entire map.
I tryed to add some cliff levels but this didn´t changed anything.
What i´d like to do is to raise the entire map using these tools:

But i don´t know if / how it is possible to use it on the entire map. For now i didn´t found anything on the internet. (I read something about heightmaps but i am not sure if this can help)

Generally it doesn´t seem to affect the gameplay but i´d like to change it looking at least some sort of normal.

Thanks for any help.

The shadow issue, at least to me, only happens in World Editor, and looks just fine ingame.

Since there is nothing about raising entire maps that I know of, you'll just be stuck with that.

Why not simply use the plateau tool with size 6 brush, starting from the terrain height you want?
This shouldn't take too long to cover the map, 480x480 probably some minutes.

Try "Calculate Shadow and Save Map" I think it is in the files tab.

Try: Advanced > Adjust Cliff Levels.
One cliff level is 128 in the z axis.

Though I think it's not a problem of cliff level (as you seem to have tried that). You need to recalculate the shadows as other have pointed out.
Be wary, as this process can take a long time and I suggest downloading the tool in the tools section so you can speed it up greatly.

i might be a bit late with the answer but i just took a look at the map and Light had the solution: it is only a bug in the editor.
So: maybe i try the other stuff but it is no problem at the map.
