It's not that big, but there are lots of regions.

And all of them could be scaled down 20% without becoming difficult to see, was my point.

Then you could put your map on Side Stats and see the tert counts, etc, without horizontal scrolling, and you could click "Begin Turn" and the attack bar without vertical scrolling.

I guess it depends on your monitor size. I use side stats and the only map I have to scroll for is Kings Court II.

Well, more on monitor resolution than size. I'm on 1024 x 768, which is huge. Just a few years ago 640 x 460 was the theoretical maximum, but then monitors went crazy and started adding four digit resolutions, which is just insane. My monitor will do more that 1024 x 768, but any higher and I can't make out the icons on the Quick Launch bar, so I won't go any higher.

I realize that on some maps there are fine details which would be lost if the map was shrunk, but there aren't on this map. It's all very basic and straightforward, and could easily be scaled down without loss of detail.

I can get side stats to fit on my I-pad, so I'm not sure why it won't for your monitor?
Does anyone else have this issue, because changing the size isn't as simple hitting a scale down button. The XML would need to be reworked, and well as the image being rescaled and reloaded.

Best Wishes,
Dana

I like it the way it is. Some parts can't get much smaller.

Totally agree. Also, the map is within the accepted and approved dimensions, so if there is a problem then it should be addressed on a higher level and not map specific.

Well, I"m not the only one who feels this way.

But I'll leave you with that, and not mention it further. I realize I'm in the minority here.

I don't have to scroll to see the map so not sure what the problem is

I can't comment on the side stats issue, but the word "outer" is misspelled in the drop down bar when you attack from the Outer Skirt (it's spelled "outter"). Pretty minor, but worth correcting if you can.

Map size is fine. The only map on CC which I think is obnoxiously oversized is Island of Doom, but that's a matter for a different thread.

However, different subject:

Have you/anybody considered making the 4 star meats logo a killer neutral? Or having an auto-decay?

by **dana1971** on Sun Jul 28, 2013 6:05 pm

I did think about making the Star Logo a killer neutral, but felt it would be more interesting to see what players did with an autodeploy that could attack so many parts of the map.
It amazes me how often players will just let an autodeploy grow unchecked.

A filet is just a steak cut from the tenderloin. Just FYI;-)

Now, in the next hours or so, some of you may notice that even if the map is quenched, it is listed as Beta into the start a game page, etc etc.
This because I'm not going to change the status. Admins have to do a test, not directly related to the map but with the recently released Beta Medals. For this reason we need to wait they do their job, it shouldn't take too long.
Apart for the status, everything else works as usually.

Congrats again dana1971
