getting good information here, thank you both.

"multiples of 32 pixels" Q. How much distance does 32 pixels represent ?

allow me to be more specific as to what I'm trying to accomplish, or at least research the possibilites of:



It would seem doing the entire map here, at something close to 350 miles by 300 miles, would be too large to make and load .. correct ?

I only need to use about 50-60 miles on either side from the front line in red.

If I make multiple maps, they need to overlap so that any point along the front line chosen has the 50-60 miles of operational area surrounding that point.

Making 3 rectangles by connecting the purple lines, the center rectangle would be about 200 miles by 160 miles.
Would that size still be large and take a long time to load ?

I could change my gameplay plan and perhaps only need as little as 30 miles distance from the front lines, this constraint would be approximately the blue lines. It would seem then the largest rectangle would be about 110 miles by 70 miles.

Needing to overlap, I figure about 8 maps to keep a radius of 30 miles around any front line point chosen.
