Questions about City sizes.

[Achille12345 0]

It's been few years since I last asked this questions, back then people said I was crazy and it was impossible to do with the current mod back then.

But now, since i want to play this game again, might as well ask the question again.

So, I wonder if it's actually possible to enlarge a City size, what i mean is making the city huge to fit for example the whole region, so a city the size of a whole region.

I would totally LOVE to make a one square region large city, it would be a epic challenge to make such a large city without cheating.

If anyone know a mod than allow this, please give me a link. =D

Nope, this is hardcoded into the sc4 exe and there is no known way to extend this. And it's extremly likely that there will never be a mod which does this.

Darn... What a shame... I'll have to play with only large city then, if i remember well I have to edit the little image file with MSpaint right?

If you mean the config.bmp, yes.

I have a link to a tutorial if you want to refresh your memory of the process:

Thanks, for now I'll simply play the game without any mod.

One last question, I might add a lot of mod later, years back I needed to download each mod one by one, but is there any full mod pack anywhere now?

As mods are continuously updated and new ones come out daily, no.  You'll have to download them individually and check back frequently for updates.  (Things like RCI buildings don't usually see updates, but other mods do).  You also need the latest version of all the dependencies, which would make mod packs even more difficult to make.

Alright, thanks for everything guys.

I was able to make a 14 *Large city* wide region (The biggest I could make without bug) with so much large city, I will probably be able to make one super huge city, I'm just sad I cannot make a single ultimate city.

Mine's 21 large tiles wide.  It crashes region census and takes 3x longer to load after exiting a large city than entering the city does.  With 3.6 GB of plugins, no less.

 

You'd have no performance running a city that big anyway.  A 14 large tile wide (squared I'm assuming) contains nearly 13 million cells.
