Epic sized maps

is it just me or it rarely works ???
i tried to make an epic mape 6 times, and only one of them managed to get loaded in WC3 ....what gives ?

Well, I wouldn't do anything greater than 480x480. And as long as we're on the topic, I wouldn't recommend anything over 192x192.

For single player; two words: Game Cache. You don't make huge maps, they are a waste of time, just make them smaller and make sure they look good.

For multiplayer, lag; not to mention that the best multiplayer maps (most commonly played) are smaller 128x128 average.

You can make epic maps, but I wouldn't recommend it.

id only use epic sized maps for rpgs, cause they suit it better
