New "Work" option: Fill (opposite of dig) to raise elevation of ground

Add a way to raise ground, at least in mines that have been dug already. Presumably to fill in with dirt. Not sure if you'd need a dirt resource to do this (my impulse would be "no")

EDIT: a suggestion below where filling it in would cost stone makes more sense then the introduction of a dirt resource.

I just dug around in an oval almost and basically turned the slopey hill into a cliff fortress. Medieval castle building 101. They also did it in roman times, such as at Masada.

I agree, it was a bit of a mess trying to build a castle on an odd shaped hill and to maintain elevation I had to make my walls all squiggly. didn't make much sense. 

You can work with the terrain, looks not only cooler but is more realistic than square hills :D Something like this:

Has to cost something if done, otherwise it would be easy to just get free fortifications. Easiest would be stone, introducing a "dirt" resource that has to be managed then for only this use would be bad.
