Is there any place for a 2.2k map?: 10/11/2014 13:52:42

I think you have heard of this map before.
Map Link:
http://warlight.net/SinglePlayer?PreviewMap=33360

"WOW THAT'S BIG"
- I know.

There's actually a problem with it. As result of the incredible huge size of the map, The map can't be uploaded on warlight since there is a size limit for SVG's. The map has around 2400 territories and it can be the 4st largest map on Warlight if it becomes public. It's even larger than Issander's world map and Giant Pennsylvania(!)
I've tried to make the map less heavy by removing some territories. But that hadn't any impact at all.
Simplifying more territories is not option because the map is gonna be much heavvier if the Bonusses are added. The best thing that I can do is make it lower to 2.1k. I wouldn't lower it to 2k because you would have less quality. It would have looked like an ugly map with ugly boundaries and I don't love that at all.

That's why I ask an exception for this beautiful map. There are some maps on Warlight which are above 2k. because of their heavy size. So it is possible to publish my map with a capacity that is higher than 2k?

Please Fizzer, This map could be very popular on Warlight. If you accept my request then it will be great.
Please give this a chance!
You're the best.

@Ra

I putted my map on maximum width and length to ensure it would look big and also because of there would be more place for territories.
It would be too much work for me if I change the width and the height of my map to normal size.
Please note that I don't want to include Antarctica in my map because pinguins.
And that's the explanation of the name of my map. :D

*edit:
And yes I will change the name of the map to a more serious one. I think I will name it Giant world/earth or Bigger world.

Haha, Pinguins are ok.
'The World without Pinguins'

Anyway, I found some incorrect terr. names (in Russia) to bring you a little more headache.

Ejsk > Yeysk (in Rostov / Southwest)
Babaeovo > Babaevo (in Yaroslavl / Northwest)
Kolgyuev Island > Kolguyev Island
Taymria Peninsula > Taymyr Peninsula
Ust Ljimsk > Ust Ilimsk (in Siberia)
Roebtsovsk > Rubtsovsk (in Siberia)
Neftugansk > Nefteyugansk (in Khanty-Mansisk / Ural)
Kadymkar > Kudymkar (Perm / Komi)

gl, hf.

Thank you for all these wonderful suggestions everybody!

However the difference is minimaly, I have increased the width of the SVG by 30 en decreased the height by 18. This is because I want to make my map more accurate.
You hardly can notice what's changed.


I also have simplified some territories on the map and due this I have lowered the capacity of the SVG from 2,2k to 2,09k ! But yet I can't upload my whole version on Warlight.

I appreciate your suggestions RA.
But I didn't make any spelling mistakes.
I used Dutch source to investigate the names of the cities/towns in Russia.
The Dutch spelling is a little bit different than the English spelling. I don't know why.
But because Warlight is an American site, I have to switch these names to the English language.

Ra, I note that you know all these Russian cities by their correct English spelling.
That's incredible!
I can't even remember the 5st largest cities in the USA.
And you just know all these Russian cities by name?
RA, you just don't know it but you're the smartest genius in the whole warlight community!

So how did the even bigger maps get published? Cause I'm making a most-likely bigger earth map and don't want to spend a lot of time just for it to not work...

Go ahead if you have that amount of time; I wouldn't *Risk* it though. (Hehe...)
But if you see that this 2.2K map may or may not get published, it's not likely for a highly detailed >2.2K map to get published.

Well if my map doesn't work out, I'll just make one side as "Old World" and use the other as "New World" the publish each as separate maps.

It will remain secret until published. Only 2 other people know how it currently looks.
