I know I've seen these numbers here somewhere, possibly in an article by Ripplejet. So before I count them all myself does anyone know where I can find this info, thanks. :thumbsup:


<EDIT> "ever heard of a calculator?" ;) So I gather in the case of a large city tile it's 250 tiles across? But in the case of a small city the result is 62.5...?

<EDITEDIT> which of course means there's a central tile... don't worry, my brain's slowly catching up with my body. :D

(fwiw I am trying to make a measuring device to assist in the accurate laying out of my region. This should be deleted I guess, I tried but wasn't able to)

This might help as well: how to measure height and depth in SC4 :)

ah, so it's slightly over metric. I'm glad I didn't erase this after all, thanks Ripplejet. :thumbsup:

(thanks a lot for that link as well, that's the way to go for sure. ;D)
