Let me illustrate the problem:
- s1.png (3.32 KiB) Viewed 7493 times
We have a slope, and want to build something on it:
- s2.png (3.96 KiB) Viewed 7493 times
So the ground gets flattened for three tiles:
- s3.png (3.6 KiB) Viewed 7493 times
We add a second building:
- s4.png (4.26 KiB) Viewed 7493 times
... and that also flattens the ground:

The changes in height of the terrain in this case are not that great. But suppose the left building was a wall of three tiles that flattened the terrain, and you want to extend it to the right:

What do you do now? Keep the wall at the current level and raise the terrain to the right? Lower the already existing wall? And remember that every tile has four neighbors, not only the two shown in the intersection. After some tiles, you end up having to modify large areas of terrain (or you have to limit the extend of buildings to an impractically small area).
It is much easier (and probably better looking) to just add a base to the buildings that goes under the terrain where needed.
