Here is one that came to me after returning home at 4 in the morning, after a wedding (Greek style!):

The terrain in Outerra is generated by a heightmap. If that is true, basicaly an image determines the height of the terrain.
That is for vertical elevation. What if there was a set of heightmaps that could be used horizontally?

Think about a horizontal terrain engine, using a small set of lengthmaps!   to make large amounts of buildings to populate   cities and wrap buildings around roads. The height of the building could be generated normaly by the vertical engine.
