Default OT: Hacking Silly Civvy Mappy Sizes

Recently, I got the urge to play civilization again. I don't have 3 or 4, but I do have 2, 2:MGE and 2:ToT.

Anyway, the silly little game will only let me make maps up to size 10,000 squares. Enter a little program called XVI...

...The value wasn't hard to find and now I can make maps (In the MGE map editor, anyway), of up to size 32,768...Or maybe 32,767. Now I'm wondering if anyone here might have an idea on how I could tweak things to tweak that tiny little half-a-WORD into, I dunno, a DWORD would be fun...

(Imprecise language used because some people get all upset at the most innocent things, just because they have illegal uses.)

If successfull, I wouldn't distribute any .exe's. That would be illegal. I will simply tell you how I did it, and if you own the program, you can do the stuff yourself.

Anyway, off to the datamines...
