I would like the scenario editor to offer more than one base scenario (the classic Blades of Exile Base). I'd like to have at least four bases to choose from:

Surface base (white cave floor)
Surface base (blue cave floor)
Underground base (white cave floor)
Underground base (blue cave floor)

The underground bases would differ from the surface bases in at least the following ways:

The Warrior's Grove and default placeholder outdoors would be switched to cave floor instead of grass
All town entrance terrains on grass would be replaced with town entrance terrains on cave floor. Possibly those currently on cave floor could be swapped to grass as well?
Some other grass terrains may also be replaced by cave floor terrains.
Holly and Wormgrass would become Toadstools and Crypt Shrooms, respectively.
Possibly changes to some monsters and other items? Unsure.

I would only support swapping cave/grass if this keeps the resulting terrain visually consistent. Likely the only way to know is trying in the editor. As for item/monster changes, items shouldn't change, as users would get confused. Monster swaps for those of equivalent stature expected in caves, on the other hand, I highly recommend.

There certainly aren't very many items that should change; perhaps the alchemy ingredients are the only ones. As for monster swaps, the main problem is that I think most of the cave versions already exist in the default base, so I'm not sure if there's anything to actually swap.
