We can't enlarge the map anymore than it currently is. This is because of the max number of settlements is 199 which we reached with the EBI map. Additionally the number of unit slots the number of culture slots the number of ... well you get the picture. The scope of what we can mod becomes more and more limited the further we extend the map.

Actually, we would still be waiting for EBII to come out in year 2050.

They are actually a mixed blessing the hard codes they are. At least in the quantity types as there are certain limits to what EB can be and therefore it might some day be ready.
