Small Maps

Postby dolomite13 on Fri Apr 24, 2009 11:09 am

I have been working on a map but all of the work has been done in its larger size. I was wondering what the standard was for what you shrink when you make the smaller map. I was planning on resizing the majority of the map except the army circles and possibly the territory designations. But some maps I have seen shrink everything, to me this makes the unit numbers overflow the backgrounds made specifically to help make those number more visible.

Any comments, thoughts, ideas, random ramblings, etc... would be appreciated.

The way you were talking about doing it: downsizing all but the army circles, is the most popular and effective method. If you need to resize the army circles, you can do that later when you see the rest.

And the maximum size for the small map is 630 pixels wide x 600 tall.

If you haven't yet, I suggest reading the 'How to make a map' thread http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=40463
Information about map size and everything else you need to know is in there.
