In Response To: High-res stuff and very large files (Forrest of B.org)

: So, is it worth it to make smaller versions of the game (that will still be
: nearly 100MB), or will people on dialup just leave it on overnight anyway
: so it doesn't really matter?
I'm on dialup, and a smaller size would be nice because I can get it and star playing faster. I don't do "overnights", but I use iGetter to download a few megs every day. It would take me 1 or 2 more days to finish downloading Rubicon X.
But if there's a new scenario (Or an old scenario updated to OS X with hi-res textures) I will download it even if I have to wait a month to start playing.
And (this is for ALL mapmakers) options are always good, and lower-res/smaller file size options will get more people to play your scenarios (IMHO)
