@cdrmv There is a command that alters the terrain height. (forgot its name) It sets a specific area all to the same height, which isn't so great if your attempting to make craters. What we did was to apply the effect is small steps radiating outwards, with each step outwards not being as deep as the one before it. Repeat this a few times in a circumference around a point to make a realistic looking crater. The smaller the elements used the smoother the crater will be.
Beware that there is a limit to how much you can take away before the whole map becomes just an ocean. Which is profoundly game breaking, as this could be used to deny an opponent the chance to build anything.
Hold the phone... found the script in DMS !!! Not sure if this is the exact one I was working with but this should be a good start for you in any case.

I think it would be great to add a function to disable/enable abilities in the game lobby, for example, if we want to play without air or airstrikes
