Default Re: Map in progress... suggestions?

Personally I love it when a map zip file includes one image file and multiple .map files. The .map files zip down so small that it really doesnt add much to the zip, and it gives the player many maps without taking up a ton of extra space. I used to offer my zips with vanilla and chaotic (which is the opposite of things like dead-sea or no-indept maps). If I do downloadable maps where I put much time on the image then Im considering doing them with one image and an entire range of NoIndept, DeadSeas, Vanilla, SemiRand'd, full randomed (chaotic), and Extreme Fill .map files. Possibly some themed and scenario ones also.

A lot could be done by using the same map over and over, and updating the zip to include new map variants of it.
