They are. A scaled down layer of 840/800 comes to 630/600.
We will need to adjust for the second size?
No you will not.
Who's the Big Cheese on sizes again? I'd like to find the answers to this... The whole thing makes no sense to me - the difference between 840 and 630 isn't worth doing - (the computer can zoom it just as effectively). CC should have LARGE map for desktops and small map for laptops and smaller... This is really a much bigger issue than the Miss Map, IMHO.
The big boss man lack.
This issue with size is not a major issue with this map. Right now, the issue that needs to be dealt with is game play. A lot of what is on the map (has already been pointed out so will out go there again) may not even end up in the final map. You have already proven that the map can come down to 840/800 so scaling it down further is not a big deal. Just look at the left and right side of the map, a lot of space has been completely wasted. Look at some of the other maps on the site. Made before SS came around. A lot have more territs with complicated GP (Stalingrad, Rorke's Drift) and they have managed to fit it all in.

Where are these complaints?
If the map is too crowded, then some of the GP elements may need to come out or change. This is your choice now Vic and Vaughn. This map has elements that could make for a great map so please do not stop, but please cut out the "let us have supersize" talk. It is getting you no where.
Give yourself some more room to play with.Catfish, blues guitar, plantations etc are all very large. Nice graphics but large. Make these half the size they are. Same goes for the steam boats and oyster boats.
You have a lot of roads that are impassable. Why not use one type instead of 3 for these. That gets more space.
These 3 things will not only give you more space but take out the cluttered look you have. You do not need to go larger, if anything, you need to make things smaller.
Hope you continue with it.
