it's possible to have many types of tiles but there is a limit that is impossible to break, thus making it IMPOSSIBLE to have ALL tiles in one map, you could read what HellCEzAR wrote.. he wrote the word "no" meaning it's not possible.

It is possiable via triggers, but WC3 asigns only so much space for mapping terrain texture tiles. Thus after a certain number, they turn into random terrain tiles for other tile sets being used. Sadly you can not unload loaded tiles meaning it can get annoying if you need to use a great number of tiles.

The actual limate I can not trace, It is eithor due to a limate with the maximum number of tiles that a terrain square can reference (I dought as generally nowdays that would be close to 256 or more due to 32 bit system design) or else its due to how the actual textures are mapped into the graphics engine meaning that it can only load so many terrain texture sets at once (quite possiably this as they tend to be quite large images and might be stored as an array of separate tile blocks or else as one gient huge image of fixed deminsions).

Yep ;) as someone allrdy said, use the WEU =)

Klick the WEU Enhancer - Edit Map - Search - Get your map and klick ok - mark: [ ] Use custom Tileset - Edit - Double Click to the Tileset you want add - done - and save.

Now you can open you map with the WEU and you got more tilesets =)
