Thanks that's the thing.
So here is how I save those pictures.
Or I must tell more?
Lol, I never noticed that 24 bit compression keeps almost every colour...

@Rolina: Well I try to make images shitty sometimes. That's when I don't use PNG. But for screenies I do.

Of rilets flowing down
They're the verlasting songs
Whispering all the time
As a warning that behind some rocks
There's a rigid grap even
Oreads fear the tread"

I only say this because BMPs are freaking huge.  Might be better for those with shared internet, as well as the site's own bandwidth usage.

So what you suggest?
I and Luna can trade with PDN but that prevents some guest interest.

Well we could occasionally load up a PNG version of the map. Like I did a while ago.
Anyhow, this map is close to finished. I won't have much free time the next two weeks, so I can't make a detailed map yet.

PNG is pretty good.  If it starts getting too big, you may wanna use jpg instead, or ZIP it up... or heck, host it externally. MEGA's great for that.

Anywho, I love the design - going after a Golden Age styled map is great, especially since it's not quite golden age, just similar.  The extra landmasses and slightly different shape work in its favor, I think.

Thanks! :happy:
