Sea Level
This sets the height of the sea. The higher the value, the further the landscape slips into the sea. With
100% Sea Level, you have total ooding and nothing more than a simple plane.
Different sea levels (from left to the right: 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%).
Water levels with borders not at sea level (from left to the right: 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%).
If you disable Borders At Sea Level, you will see a rather different result. The landscape is truncated
at sea level and is then lifted again to its full height, i.e. the parts rising from the water become
steeper.
Plateau Level
The value works in the reverse way to Sea Level. Instead of being cut off from the bottom, the
landscape is truncated from the top, creating attened mountain tops. If the plateau level is set to
0%, a plane will result. If you switch off Borders At Sea Level then, after truncation, the landscape is
lifted again to full height, i.e. the mountains become steeper.
Plateau with borders at sea level (100%, 75%, 50%, 25%).
