Map maker question/questions

from Elemental Forums

I've made some maps in Elementerra 1.2 and noticed there were no arctic land tiles... so I'm altering the map I made to solve this issue. The doesn't seem to be an option in that handy little thing to have arctic tiles spawn with the map like all the other types of land... 

my question is...

how do you increase the size of the cursor and how many tiles get changed all at once. I'm having to go one tile at a tile on a 206x206 map... mostly in the north and south hemispheres of the map created (mostly centered around the pole regions and change them to arctic... one tile at a time... it's slow... and time consuming... is there a way to increase the cursor size and how many tiles it changes when you click to change or am I stuck with the slow method of changing the tiles I want into what I want :dur:

in the catography table the cursor size is changed by the numberpad +/- keys, and it changes the RADIUS of the cursor which increases the tile count IN the brush by PI/Rsquared.

and just received info that says that maps MUST be 12 *8 or smaller otherwise elemental runs out of ram.

pity as I like having a bit of time to grow my faction before I start to war

Yeah I saw that, I usually play on a 13x13 map which I think is 206x206, before I played on a 256x256 map and it kept running out of memory constantly. Lets hope when the 64-bit rolls around we'll be able to play on larger maps without OOM issues.
