Good question, thanks for asking.

These reliefs are generated by a program which is a work in progress.

The aim of this project is to be able to make realistic terrain and
support the creation of fun and interesting levels for the game.

Realism is an important factor in most games, allowing for better immersion.

Most of these maps have have areas that are flat enough to build on,
The size, shape, and position of those areas will vary.

Since large, perfectly flat areas, are rare in natural environments,
they will rarely occur in these maps, but it's easy to paint them by hand.

To make a flat spot, just use a single color and fill an area with it.
It's important to point out that the game does not require a completely
flat area for a building to be built on it. (See also Tips added to OP)

So far, the 2140.zip has some of the flattest maps, relatively speaking,
and like a flat tire, they may not be as fun or interesting.

At least a few more sets of reliefs will be posted here soon.

The program is currently being updated with varied features like
lake beds, impact craters, volcanic craters, and stalagmites.

That's  funny. Just after I sent you that question, I discovered 21-40. They have flat enough ground for colonization efforts 

I'm giving you credit in my user level pack for making the relief I'm using. Your reliefs are great. Can I get the link to that program you're using?

Thanks so much
