Question relating to terrain mods in general

[M4346]

Sorry to bother you all with this if it is a stupid question, and I also apologise in advance if it's on the wrong board. 

So, my question is (and it might be pretty obvious, but I'm really not sure) whether or not a terrain mod is generated with / when rendering a map for the first time, or do you need to open every city?

I want to install a new terrain mod and hopefully render the map with the terrain mod (as rendering takes long, and opening every city even longer) and I want to be sure before I waste 2 hours of waiting patiently.

Thanks in advance,

M

For terrain mods it is only when you are rendering maps using the SC4 engine.
the 8 bit maps can be rendered using SCTF which is a much more flexible and powerful program.

That is what I am referring to, as I do not use the SCTF. So, let me get this straight: if I render a map with the SC4 engine with a terrain mod in my plugins folder all the city tiles will have that terrain?

Thanks!

You will get the terrain textures on the map if you render the map by the game engine.
