Sure, but just remember that you will spend some time now, but in future you will save much more time =)

Original CentrEd have can undo only last action, and in CentrEd+ you can undo last 64 actions. It's more than enoth untile you begin change Altitude by mouse wheel...

What do you mean?

As for colored tiles, I am fine with not using them, actually, though I do hope to import some custom art from various sites for use as static decorations and items.

I mean it dosn't take many time to build simple buildings, it don't take much care how many rooms and floors in it. Building becomes hard when you whant to make some architecture style or use landscape for example like lighthouse I swhow to you. House there is 2 floors, but 1st floor on 75% is undergrond, and as for "tower" it grow's from rock... Such things and combinations need much more time and work =)
As for colored tile we also hate acid colors and prefer to avoid them, but good colors can give very nice effect... Just you don't have to change color to make house acid or green, you have to change color to make it other, for example to make oak floor from pine and so on =)

That is actually the part of the map I was trying to copy, the lighthouse in the Lost Lands, and move it to create four slightly differing lighthouses in various places on the Britannia map.

it's animate tiles from original client. It contains from several tiles.
