Map Expansion
Just a question. Would the ability timespan our map size after we have already made the map be possible. Like if I had a city on a small map I could expand it to a big map.

1. Expansion itself is difficult, how should the added terrain look like? If that doesn't matter, it would be possible. But then, why not create a bigger map in the first place?
2. Yes, RAM is the main reason for problems with big map sizes. Not just the total amount but also that a lot of devices are still locked to 32 or 64 MB Java heap size. For comparison: A gigantic map which is filled with a lot of stuff like AToiiol needs more than 170 MB RAM to run. Mobile devices aren't (yet) built for such needs.

Doesn't matter, just copy the outer tile type outward.
