[?] What does the default height of a map do?

[HangMan_]

I've been making maps for quite a while nw and this is one of the few things i dont know about... What does altering the default height when u create a map do??

So your heightmap.dds (how the ground is made) has a color number from 0 (lowest) to 256 (the highest) the default height will in game say how high the 256 number is.

i.e. default height = 500 meters (highest height color on your map)
i.e. default height = 200 meters (highest height color on your map)

so if you take higher default height you can make higher mountains?
