Are you sure that they're there on purpose? I've seen similar dents appear when using the World Builder to add or subtract hills.

yes they are there on purpose. the hilldents appear, becaus the heightmap places a shadow there without removing it with removal of a hill.
the dents i painted on the texture are there to make it look less plain. if you have a bigger array of the same sort (all grassland, all plains, etc.) you will notice i added several environment pieces to make it look less plain. like those corpses on the hell terrain or the cowskeleton on the desert tiles.

I waited to check out the new terrain graphics until the release of Shadow. I wanted to make my first game of Shadow even more special lol. I like the new terrain very much! Its a nice change. I have liked, and still like, Blue Marble. But I like change and this change is a great one. I especially like the new Tundra. Haven't seen the Hell or Ancient Forest Terrains yet.
My only criticism, and its a minor one, is that the Forests look like clear cut regrowth. All the trees look the same. There is no diversity in age or species. I like the color and style of them. But I think they would look even better with some slight color variations, and an occasional great grandfather tree here and there. So that big patches of forests look like diverse, multigenerational, healthy forests rather than a cloned tree farm. I do like the look of the individual trees though. They have style like the ones in my desktop wallpaper which I like very much.
