Here is a quick overview, of the city sizes used to edit the config.bmp.

If you have terraforming, or development in the region, you can only add to the bottom, and/or right side of the region, without destroying those.

grayscale to config.bmp ratio :

64:1 plus 1

config.bmp file:

Large city = 4x4 pixels blue

Medium city = 2x2 pixels green

Small city = 1x1 pixels red

You can only do it with the raw greyscale image. If you have SC4Terraformer, you can export your region to a .png file, manipulate that with an image editing program, use any number of methods to fix the pixellation that occurs when making images larger, and re-import the image back into SC4Terraformer or SC4 directly.

You can alter the config.bmp to change the distribution of city tiles.
