How big is too big a file size?

[Caden]

I don't want to add too many files to my map, especially since I plan to make a rather large map as it is, so how large a file size should maps be?

i think 1.5mb and lower is a good map size. since the load screen doesnt take as long.

yeah between 1.0 mb and 2.5 mb..

Well, the size limit of b.net is 3mb. Keep in mind that if your map is larger than 3mb you can't spread it throught battle.net . And in my opinion 2mb is the optimal size for a map. And keep in mind that big JASS systems (WEU's advanced triggers , Vexorian's caster system, just to name a few) take some space too. I think advanced triggers take more than 500kb. Heavy Lock and Vex's optimizer can clean the map from unnecesary things and make it run faster.

Isn't the max 4mb?
