Artillery

Would be cool if artillery made craters and the grass turned to dirt with artillery hits etc to nail in the destruction of it.

This already happens. The ground also adds up "devastation", which is a game mechanic that weakens structures built, making them easier to kill, the longer the area gets shelled and fought over. It is designed so that a no-mans land eventually forms.

When a location is under heavy (arty) assault for a long while, you will start to notice the craters. A location that was once green and filled with trees, will turn muddy and with tree stumps over time as well.

You can most readily notice this when an important Town Hall changes side after a long siege. Immediately after capturing the TH, you will usually see a few people with shovels digging out the artillery craters, so that defenses can be built there.

if the fight was bad enough, it looks like you are changing biome suddenly. Ashes cover everything and trees looks like they went through a firestorm.

we are talking an entire subregion (the sub-division of an Hex) changing color from either green or white to gray ash.

when artillery is unlocked, every frontline will have craters. Where the hell are you playing?

I thought they were always player built, I have never seen the artillery create them. I have seem players digging them so I assumed they were just player built.

If you see players digging them, they are actually removing them. Those crates are artillery-made and you can use a shovel to fill up the hole again.
