Because there is huge discussion about map size in the foundary lets figure out what percentage of people have large map or small map.

Personally i think there should be the options "Small" "Medium" and "Large"
Small would be the same as small now
Medium would be the current large
Large would be bigger again.
This would mean maps like Ireland that are quite small could be magnified furthur.

lol fair enough. Maybe its my setup but i find for some maps the "Large" size is still too small.

Small - Large - Mega perhaps?
Mega could be the same as Large for maps without a mega version. Mega shouldn't have size constraints.

I tend to run the small size because I do most of my work here on the site using a laptop, especially my new MacBook which has a 13 inch screen. If I had a nice fancy 22 inch desktop I'd use the large size all the time though.

It's larger map for me when I'm playing sequential games while in freestyle games since speed matters most, I prefer smaller map.

i totally agree to have a third size
small large and HUGE. where huge is optional. meaning all the maps that currently are available for play will not be necessarily revamped to include a HUGE map since they are already playable.
however if any cartographer wants to reamp his map and add a huge version it is ok.

Large, it makes the map less blurry.

large maps arn't blurry. Blurry maps dont make it through the foundry.

That's what I was saying, large maps make it clearer.

Yes, but large maps make it more detailed.

I voted large because I have a widescreen monitor and it makes the map more clear to me.

Small because that's the way I had it when I was on 56k, so now I'm used to it.

Small... it's not how big the map is, it's what you do with it that counts...

Large. Even if I'm using a smaller resolution, it's easier to see.

I always play the small maps, to keep the screen scrolling to a minimum.
