I'm wondering if you just have those two choices, or if it's possible to have an MA map that's somewhere in the middle.......
The smaller maps are gettin' too small for the numbers flying lately... and as far as a map on the scale of the Pizza map, I just don't think we're there yet. Somewhere in-between seems right to me, but I don't know if that's an option.
Hello Nash
Like Innominate said "Make a 512 map and dont use all of it?
IIRC all terrains are 512x512, the "map size" setting is only for the clipboard map."
The largest map available to be built in the terrain editor has always been 512 X 512 miles.
There are no restrictions to the size you can build up to the max. of 512 X 512.
The clipboard maps can be set as 512, 256, 128 or 64 miles squared.
Here is the Rumble map, 1st picture is in the 64 scale, the 2nd is in the 512 scale. The land mass in the game hasn't changed.
You are right about this pizza terrain being larger, most of the other ones where being built for 256 X 256 miles.
BUT! this map hasn't doubled in size, it has actually quadrupled in size.
256 X 256 = 65,536 sq miles
512 X 512 = 262,144 sq miles
a 400% increase
it may have been better to size a terrain at 320 X 320 mile which would have been a 25% increase.
