Yes, I understood what you meant. Once every half decade someone asks for this

The simple answer is because we have added as many terrain types as we have there is , as I recall, one (1) slot left free to use in the 32 bit integer we had to work with and I'm saving it .

Also, unless each individual terrain SHP zoom level is created by hand ( not a fun job unless you are only doing one and even then it's not something everybody can do correctly) There is only one program on this planet that will create all the zoom levels we use in our game automatically and correctly scaled ( because we use one more zoom level than the "other game" ) and it's right beside my right elbow and has to be run from pure DOS not an emulator so creating this file for end users to use would be a waste of that last slot mainly and given what else we have on our plates ATM it's really not something that is on the radar for us.
