This section contains the data that is used to create terrain to play on, meaning information about tiles, which for 99% are located in <game.mix>/iso<theater>.mix/*.<theater extension>, for Red Alert 2 temperate for example, in ra2.mix/isotemp.mix/*.tmp The data is compressed in LZO compression format, and 11-byte chunks of data represent which tile, which subtile, the x- and y-location and height to place in a cell.
Because of 3 always-zero values used in each of these 11 byte chunks, map storage isn't quite optimal. XCC Map Encoder greatly exploits this, to compress this section greatly.
