Is there any limit to which i should adher too, right now my map is about 15% complete and it weights in at 144kb, im expecting it to grow exponantionaly from here. So yeah, any limit i should to try and fit it all in, or should i just go crazy.

Depends on how much you want it to lag. Just keep adding and testing it and if it starts to slow down and people tend to drop a lot that usually means it's got too many goodies.. Download times usually aren't too much of a problem since people can get the maps if you post them on websites.

i use a 1.7 ghz monster of a machine, so personally i dont feel any effects just yet, and i didnt plan to test the map untill its done, i guess ill need to reconsider that.

I had the same question too.
My RPG map is already at 500K and its only on the Create Character Phase. I havent even created the map yet. The reason its big its because its has new icons, new spells through triggers, changed spells animations, and I had to import the AbilityData into it cause I tweaked some spells. Its all worth the size though when its done. I figure 4 monts or so until complete and beta around 3 months.
