Anybody successfully expanded the tile selection?

I have just this weekend begun to really look in-depth at the scenario editor.
One thing that I felt was a nice touch were individual city tiles for some prominent cities like Paris, Berlin or Moscow. I thought about trying to make unique tiles for all major "victory flag" cities.
However, to do so, expanding the LayerTerrain files would be necessary.
I tried making the file taller so another row of tiles could fit in, and appended some arbitary tiles to check whether it'd work.
The editor actually recognized the new row, but the preview on the left shows blanks instead of the actual tile, and neither the editor nor the game will display the change.
Is there a file somewhere I missed that I need to edit to make this work?
Maybe some more experienced PC modders have found out?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Here is my question from the Slitherine Forum - - BTW I lile alos some new buildings sets also for major citys.
Can someone design some new village tiles in the same style like the original - I need 20-30 different small village tiles for my big map mod. The old citys looks very good, but for smaller villages - they are to big.

Take a look at my Normandy map (Example here around Caen / Pegasus bridge) - Here you can see the city graphics are to big and the little station tiles (BTW - very good idea !) are to small.

Well, thanks for the reply, but ... maybe it's because I'm not a native english speaker, but I have a hard time figuring out how your post even relates to my question, let alone answers it.
Do you want to say you have successfully added tiles?
If so, how did you do it?
If not ... ???
