As soon as i place a unit on an unprotected map and save, its file size suddenly goes down and the file sector size (in Operations > Properties > Archive) goes down to 4096?

Anyway i can increase file sector size?

I am confused on the last step, as it says to import stuff into the original map, yet the guide doesn't tell you how

when i try saving an edited map it only says about not all players starting location have been placed, and the whole map is empty except for the environments and doodads.
