Is there a way to merge regions using something like the SC4 Terraformer? (I don't know if this is in the right section, so please move to the correct section)
I've thought that one through myself. SC4TF would not appear to offer any direct way to do it. One could load each region into the TerraFormer, export a .bmp, combine them in a graphics program, then reimport the new .bmp through Terraformer to create the new region. Sounds steppish to me, but if the motivation was there...
The alternative I came up with was to create an empty SC4 region (the config.bmp and region.ini files in a folder named for the new region), then start the game and import each city from the two old regions into it. Thus, two 4x4 quad regions could become a single 4x8 quad region. Reconciling the boundary would be handled by a pass through TerraFormer.
Anyone have any other thoughts on this?

So I could start a city on each of them, then start a new region and import each city into the new one?
Hard to do without a lot of close-up detail work if cities are already there. Unless it's flat.
Splicing bitmaps and going over them in Photoshop or Terraformer is your best bet.
