-New capability in ArmA 3 is that it / terran builder now supports 8192 grid.
+New capability in ArmA 3 is that it / terran builder now supports 8192 grid heightmaps. Note: 8192 grid heightmaps make terrain builder extremely unstable (freezes or even crashes are normal behavior), it is not recommended to be used unless you are //experienced// terrain developer.

-We list square kilometer (km2) here just for reference, please do not use this measurement on forums etc when describing your terrain dimensions because the km x km is the standard we have used since 2001 OFP era. You can use all of these to explain your terrain size, but "km x km" or just "km" like "40km terrain" has to be the main focus to keep it simple.
+The km x km is the standard we have used since 2001 OFP era. To explain your terrain size use "km x km" or just "km" for example "40km terrain" to keep it simple. Never use any other odd mumbo jumbo value system.
