Any way to make smaller steams in GOD mode?

Oops. That was supposed to be streams. I am frustrated with how large the area of effect is (even with the Ctrl key pressed) when making valleys and such. Is there a way to have a finer scope of effect, like down to a square or two or three? There must be because people make very detailed maps when all I can do is make giant blotches. And forget about GOD mode landscaping on small maps, the circle of effect is bigger than the map itself.

That isn't quite small enough for my liking, but thanks.

Press "ctrl" and then either "0" to "9" to toggle the radius. 0 is the smallest possible radius and 9 is a very large radius. "shift" gives you the maximum radius.

Try using ploppable water.  You can achieve much greater detail.

Ctrl + 0-9 didn't work, but shift +1 was nice and small, thanks a bunch.

 

I'll look into ploppable water as well.

On the SC4Devotion LEX, diggis has created some ploppable streams. Maybe try an author search for his creations over there.

 

There's also some additional terrain tools which come in handy for terraforming:

Protip for using terraforming tools (of any shape or game mode):

 

Shift + # (1-5) controls tool size

 

Shift + F# (1-5) controls tool strength.

 

1 is the least, and 5 is the greatest.

 

Not many are aware that the strength can be altered as well. The shift and ctrl buttons (by themselves) do both size and strength control at the same time.

A slight correction: The tools are controlled by Shift+n for radius and Fn for strength.  1 <=n <= 9.  Pressing shift and holding it by itself resets to maximum.
