You can totally scale everything down to make room for stuff.
My map is scaled down to the point that it takes 4:30 minutes to cross from one side to another.
The trick is scaling the Camera down with the units and then building your terrain around the size of your units.
Currently my tallest unit is half the size of a marine.
Most buildings have a 1 by 1 footprint as well
that would be great if I could scale it down any further. but as I said I'm at the map limit already. I'm not talking about the scale of the units or buildings, I'm talking about the terrain. The cliff tool can't make cliffs any more precise than I already have them, so I can't scale it down any lower or the continents will just look like shapeless blobs. Since the map size itself cant be made bigger I don't have the room to do all of Essos, I can only do the western shoreline at most.

Ah i understand what your saying
would it be possible to see current screen shots.
so perhaps we can see a basic layout?
but as it stands if your able to only include the western shore line that is still a massive land mass
If you are using the default cliffs you will definitely be limited by scaling something down.
I found it easiest if you use the lower and raise terrain options to make your own cliffs
only downside is there is know way of telling what unit is on high ground unless using triggers
I'll throw some screenshots shortly, I managed to squeeze a little more space in, so I'll just magically transport Meereen closer to the western shore and include the armies of Daenerys Targaryen in the game, to allow the war of the 5 kings, and 3 queens at the same time.

hey not entireeely sure where to put this so I guess I'll ask for it here, can anyone whip me up a fairly decent Westeros terrain / outline for a map?
I'll end up doing it myself if no one's down, twould just save me a bunch of time is all, will give credits.
thanks
I'll see what I can do. What exactly do you want? Do you just want the shape or would you like for it to have some trees and mountains and such?
@Nebuli2: Go
the basic outline would be great, its more a risk style game so I don't think trees and mountains will be entirely necessary
here's a good reference http://thronesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Westeros-Map-By-House.jpg
actually nevermind, after much time I have just done it myself, thanks anyway though
@EchoedRequiem: Go
but ... what about the lands to the east across the sea
@SouLCarveRR: Go
The doom.
map size isnt big enough to accommodate it, the terrain I have now is already pretty thin
@EchoedRequiem: Go
if its like a risk game you could potentially scale everything down....
its already really scaled, like, the wall takes up only 6 squares. I could fit maybe the far west third of Essos, but thats about it.

Could make for an awesome map
