Terrain Control INI files

Each Theatre has a separate Terrain Control INI file defining that theatre's available terrain tiles, such as slopes, cliffs, water, and others, and their features, such as the ability for subterranean objects to dig through them. Note, however, that a good deal of tile features (the ability to leave scorches/craters on this tile, the terrain type of the tile etc.), are defined by the .tmp file of the tile.
