Cities: Skylines patch 1.4 adds canals and landscaping

The latest patch for Cities: Skylines (version 1.4) is available now, and adds landscaping tools and water structures. As the post from Colossal Order in the Paradox forums adds, the team “also tried to fix as many bugs as we could as well as work on improvements.”

Work on bugs will, it says, continue into the spring, so there’ll be more updates on the way in due course.
