Information with leveling terrain when a tile cannot be raised any further
Leveling tiles over raise limit should give a notification as well

I stumbled over an issue today that took up nearly 30 minutes till I figured out whats wrong.

When we are raising a tile via raise terrain and at some point the base is not wide enough and we're going too high, we get the message "You cannot raise this tile any further"

That's all fine and nifty. Now the issue I had was that I didn't try to raise the tile, I tried to level it. The problematic tile was a corner tile (not standing on the same basis and was actually raised more than every surrounding tiles.

What I would be very happy to see is a message similar to the one when raising a tile, if any tiles affected by leveling has the same issue. This would avoid confusion if the cap is reached not by raising tiles but by leveling them. What it does when this problem happens is that the surrounding tiles are balanced out and lowered appropriately, but the actually affected tile does not raise any further because it cannot, leading to a lot of confusion for the poor new players like myself ;)

Not a really common issue, but it would definitely not hurt to have this extra notifier when leveling as well.
