The key to avoiding warpage is to use at least three layers and make sure that the corrugations are oriented in different directions on each layer. With a bit of practice, you can get a result almost as tough as wood, but much lighter.

There's no such thing as "supposed to," and what you want doesn't matter. All that matters is what happened.

Yes. The multiple layers of cardboard are good. However, you can also coat the bottom of the base with a hardening agent, like plaster. It will strengthen the cardboard... just make sure you don't use too much liquid, as the cardboard will bend the opposite way.

Another fix for warping cardboard is to take a thick paintbrush (1" or 2") and dip it in some water and PVA glue. Draw a big X across the bottom-facing side of the terrain. That X is what I used to use when painting pictures and it kept the posterboard, etc from warping.

Hope this helps.

It would look even better, if you covered the sides of your base.
