Theme change for Grayworld

[[K40$]-Spectre]

Good people, I'm working on hard on a massive update for my map Grayworld (http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/f202/grayworld-111927/). Grayworld's goal is to expand Wacraft 3 greatly and adding many new strategies. It's still in Beta as you can see and I've removed the download because of the following:

Grayworld is getting a new theme to greatly reduce map size and to increase its atmosphere. Please fill in the poll and which theme you want most.

Coming update features:

1. New improved armor/weapon type tooltips.
2. Greatly decreased mapsize.
3. Larger and better looking map.
4. More balances.
5. New naga mini race.

Thanks for taking the time and stay tuned,

Due to limited filesize (4mb is really a pain in the ass when you make a worthy expansion for WCR3), I probably won't add any custom abilities for the Naga units, their stats and costs will be modified though. Also note that because I really want to make this one battle.net compatible (in other word; <4mb), some skins have been removed and though I try to add find as many low kb skins/models, I'll still need to use some ingame models. If you know about any usefull custom skins/models that have a low size (~30 kb), please let me know.

its pretty easy to resize a skin yourself, to be about 30kb and still look good... download gimp from: www.gimp.org, download war3modeleditor from tools. use it to export your .blp as a .bmp, edit with gimp, go to image, scale image choose either 64x64, 128x128, 256x256, noteing the smaller it is, the lower the quality, for every level of reduction, filesize is cut about 2/3. NOTE: some models have rectangular textures, 128x256, ect. This is fine, just reduce one of the dimensions, and gimp will auto reduce the other.

, thanks, do you also know how to make models smaller? And for the skins which are for ingame models, does the resize also work (I use Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro)?

Foggy rivers, swamps and scary spooks., this will be the new theme for it. Thanks for all the votes and the new name for Grayworld is: The Great Cypress Swamp. Hence the title, this map will be actually be based on the North American swamp. This won't be direct replica though, it will be darker and more thick. Here's picture of the swamp:
