Using WEU 480x480 map size

I was wanting to know other people's views on using the 480x480 map size found in WEU.

Uh... like what? It's a map size.

Too large, methinks. Way too large.

@Tim, using the map size.

I feel using it is best for maps like RPGs.

I feel the initial limit of 256x256 is more than adept even for RPG maps...In the case of single-player RPGs, if that fails then the use of zones and additional maps will suffice.

Now with single player RPGs i feel 256x256 is big enough as the creator can use one map per area.

480x480 is way too large, it will have a huge download time, and people might leave before downloading imo. Especially if its a full detailed map.

I don't recommend one caring about the terrain for a 480x480 map. That's just ridiculous. Sure, it's huge x huge = Omega huge, but who's gonna play a great map if it takes 3 minutes to load?

Some people will find it worth while. But usually... you know what happens.

so much dl time, so much load time, so much lag, so much map to terrain and full with =7000 dodds, so much work, so much map...

Not recommendeD

I agree.

You will probably hit the doodad limit long before you're done

If you want a large map like 480x480 just make everything in your map smaller instead, units, doodads etc and then zoom the camera in. When it is not zoomed in alot it is not noticable and that way you can achieve a large map without the actual size being enourmeus.

Only problem then is pathingmap, tiles-looking-ugly and blizzcliffs

Too many reasons why not to use it. Are there any reasons TO use it? Why ask?

using can allow you to create a much bigger rpg world
