A) Don't make 256x256 maps. I've never played a good one.
B) With a size like that, use doodads more sparingly. Tile variation is your best friend.
C) Yes, but it's not worth it. I can't remember what does, I don't think MiscData does, maybe WEU, or NewGen.

Megafyr, that statement is incorrect. It will be playable by everyone as long as they have WC3 uptodate and installed.

Use JNGP like Rui sujested, its like WEU with all the junk removed and more good things added.

Well, what I have experienced is that by saving a map in WEU the map didn't show up ingame even though I saved it in the right folder and everything. It might just be that my computer is fucked, but since I've had this problem on 2computers I also find this very unlikely.

I once made a start on a single player RPG in WEU, and everyone I sent the map to claimed that they couldn't open it. They could of course all have been a bunch of unintellegent morons, but I find that very unlikely too. I sent the map to a very experienced WC3 modder, and he also was unable to open it.

Have you tested saving maps with WEU and opening them ingame? Because if you can do it, I don't understand why I can't do it. xD
