Feature Request: Terrain Layering (like in AoE2:DE)

As a modder I’d love to see AoM:R get a tool for layering terrain textures like AoE2:DE has!

Below are some screenshots of the Layered Terrain option in the editor with some examples of how it enables modders to layer two terrain textures together to create new looks. This enables many thousands of terrain appearances without affecting the normal functionality since only the base terrain affects its performance in game.
