I thought the whole point of lower land was to clear space for making a bigger city. I've turn the entire map flat and my cities are still just as limited on space as before. Is this a bug?
No, the spell is for changing terrain to give yourself a tactical/travel advantage.
All cities are hard capped at 50 tiles for building, IIRC.
I use lower land to create a pathway through mountains. I've not noticed it adding tiles...don't think it is supposed to.
One game I had a city that was stuck between a forest and the sea. I used Raise Land to make more flat surface to build on. So that should work -- but if you're hitting the 50 tile limit, as noted above, there's no hope for you. Sorry.
Turns out it was a bug. I WAS able to build on the newly flat land, I just had to exit the game and reload it for it to register.
