Modify Existing Region with SC4 Mapper 2013 Help!

[azxcvbnm321 17]

I have an existing region that I'm playing but I want to modify the borders of some of the cities, combining some cities into larger ones.  Is there a way to preserve the buildings and stuff while changing the city borders with SC4 Mapper?  Or do I have to start all over again?  Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Afaik There is no way to preserve anything built in a city where borders are redrawn, and only terrain could be kept using a map export and import method.

Do you mean, as an example, consolidating 4 medium tiles into 1 large tile?? If so, then I don't believe that's possible either, or I've never come across any documentation stating that it's possible. 

 

However, it is possible to increase the land mass of an existent region, but only on the right hand side & bottom portions of the region.

 

You can always move existent cities to a new region, but only if the city tile sizes are the same.

Thanks to everyone for the help.  After some experimentation, I figured it out.  As people said, you can't preserve the buildings and such if you modify an existing city and redraw borders.  However you can change the borders of cities that have no buildings (or you don't care about) into anything you want.  This is what I was looking for as I had unplayed land that I wanted to make into larger cities.  I previously had only one "big" city on the entire map, but now I have 4 thanks to SC4mapper.  This is a great utility, thanks to the creators
