Map Size Poll

[Dead Moroz]

I've heard only expanding east and south cause the graphical distortions, have you played with that any? Just test with expanding the map north a bit, or west a bit, and see if you get the same bugs? I don't know if that'd help either way, to be honest, even if it is true, that we can expand north, bug free, but not south or east.

Damn, Ranika! Did you read what I wrote to you in PM?
OK, once more. When you change (even a pixel!) something in map_heights.tga (this is a file required to generate map) it will cause bugs no matter if you expand the map (in any directions) or not. You can not create new map without editing this file (game will just crash). The more you change this file (the more new lands you create) the more bugs it produce.

What's wrong in this file? Nothing. It contains data about heights of different places of map. The problem is that this file was generated by special programm... or was perfectly fitted for RTW map by CA's designers (I don't belive in it, but if it's true - these people are just patterns of fortitude). When you manually change this file you confuse some pixels and the heights data become corrupted and it cause bugs.

Right right, apologies. I did read it, but I'm generally pretty tired when I manage to get on here to post, so I can get absent minded. Sorry.

No problem.
