Moving cities to different regions. Can I???

my question is ... can i move cities from "Maxisland" to my own custom region? I see where i can move the files around but im curious if i can...

Sure you can. When you click on a blank city square, somewhere there is an option to Import a city. Then all you do is find the city you want, and it will be moved to the new region.

Doing this will cause the city to disappear from its original region. However, if you want to just copy it, the easiest way to do this would be to go into the regions folder, copy the "Maxisland" folder, then rename it something like "Maxisland2." Then you can delete Maxisland2 after you've imported the city.

Simply moving tiles around within regions will erase the cities being moved. In addition to the method mentioned by Facelessman, you can also copy-paste the city you want to import into the Regions\Download folder and import it from there. This will allow the original city to remain in the original region. Note: Cities can only be imported into citiy tiles of the same size. Also, the terrain is imported along with any develpment. So if you have all ready terraformed your new custom region, it will be erased in favor of the terrain of the imported city. Hope this helps...
