We do generally NOT release 2 MB maps. Right now only 2 maps are over 2 MB: Justice 2 and AIB Quest 2. And they bring some great stuff that justifies the size. (I didn't look at this map, so no idea about it.) If there is no way to make it smaller, I guess we can go with it, but you should aim for less than 1 MB for a map. Reasons:
  • Not everyone has your internet connection, others download way longer or are even on mobile connections
  • Some people live far away, downloads over long distances can be quite slow
  • Everything in your map sits uncompressed in the RAM of the client machine, so people with bad computers can't play huge maps
  • We have to pay for server traffic, bigger map means more traffic
  • Other clients than DDNet have slow download. Many still use these clients

There are people who need minutes for a normal map with a few hundred KB. What do you think how long they need for your map?
