Cant say there was much new from the AMA.
One thing which seems to have taken a lot of people back, myself included, is that the idea of unlocking 25 tiles might not be such an easy task. I've just seen theres an official statement on the matter, confirming things, and it is essentially going to require a hack, a decent understanding of whats involved and god knows what.

They're trying to be open about it, and to be fair they've pointed to clarification they've made going back to the end of 2014, so they've not been hiding it, its just that when people have tossed around the 25 tile stuff, they've seemingly not realised their community is of the understanding it'd be a relatively simple modification, and the only reason they're not letting you go beyond 9 in-game is because 9 is a fixed target for system specs and they cant be at fault if you make it 10-25 and things are sluggish. However it seems its far from simple, and 'its possible' is about the only thing they're saying about it.
Part of the issue seems like its crossed messages from people asking if they'll be able to unlock all the tiles day 1, and them saying it can be easily modded (they're including it, infact) but thats unlocking the default 9 tiles, not the unofficial 25 tiles.
The community seems to be taking a knock, but theres already people trying to come together and create the required solution, hopefully it wont be so hard. Im not remotely fussed about filling 25 tiles, i just want to create something open and enjoy such freedom to keep forests as forests, have lakes and rivers within the map without the feeling that its lost building space and too restrictive. 9 should be plenty to enjoy the game, but if we can get 25 i doubt i'd be 'filling' any more than about 10 tiles worth of land anyway. Fingers crossed.
