How to expand region map if it already contains city (and not small)?

[jakis 287]

I started this town, probably 3 years ago when there weren't different mods, etc. But after three years, ie Now I've found that I didn't calculate area for the city, it was too small. All my efforts can be directed to the destruction of the city, and no it does not on its extension, so I'm afraid to even get to work.

Perhaps you could post a screen shot of this city? It is not at all clear what your question is.

Question is : "How to expand region map if it already contains city?", thanks in advance.

Well, since that map was cr3ated by SC4Terraformer, you need to open each tile and resave them to regularize your layout. Then, after making a full backup of this region, you can add new tiles to the bottom and right of the config.bmp. This should cause some empty tiles to appear in your layout. You will have to hand terraform them. Rules for layout:

1 x 1 pixel red - small tile

2 x 2 ... green - medium

4 x 4 ... blue - large.

The base color for each tile must be at value xFF (255)

This may not work. You cannot change the existing layout within the region, only along the right and bottom edges.

To add empty tiles to the left or top edge (as well as the right and bottom), add the extra tiles to the config.bmp as Mr. Moose outlined, then use the new config to create a new region. Then import your existing cities into their place in the new region one-by-one using the in-game tool and you're good to go.

Again, the new tiles will have to be hand-terraformed.
