Calculating the Distance Required to Reach a Level Tile from a Given Slope
This chart can be used to find how much the height will change when starting from a given slope and reaching a level segment when decreasing the slope by a step of 1 on each subsequent segment.
For example, if your current slope is 7 and you want to gradually decrease the slope until flat, look under the Starting Slope value of 7 and find the height change of 21 dirt levels by the time you reach a level tile. The distance to that tile corner will be one less than the slope, or 6 in this case.
If you need a more aggressive decline, double or triple the step (the amount of slope changed with each segment) and do the same to the height change value to get the new amount.
