There are programs in the Tools section that compress the size of your maps. Please do remember that this likely causes you to be unable to edit your map (well). So make a copy of your map and compress/release that version. Use the non-compressed to edit and save copies of that to compress if you want to release a new version.

issue

I know were the compressing programs are and ive used a optimizer but the problem is that the size is not low enough, is there away for me to increase the max limit or something?

In that case I'm very much wondering: Did you use models of 1MB each or something? You really need to cut down on the imports. There's no way you can possibly reduce it to less then 4MB. Delete imports or ask the creator of the models to make them less detailed to save space.

And there is already a Starcraft Wc3 map you know.

You're gonna have to cut down on those custom models. Until the map is 4mb or less.
