Mapping Options

[katasu]

Okay so I need help mapping something. So far I think I've done good work on my three maps, but this fourth one I just seem to do. I need help mapping a forest. It'll be going horizontal and it's a snow forest. I want it to be big enough so that battle's will take place but not every 2 steps. Yet I don't want it so big that you'll have to run back out before getting to the otherside. Can someone point me in the right direction or something. Help will be appreciated. Thanks!

I personally prefer smaller maps, there is nothing wrong with getting the Player to go between lots of different maps, it also gives the impression that it is bigger. If I was you I would split up this map to around 4-5 maps, It would then give more of an impression of a deep forest.

Loving the use of the water and the different levels to try and split up, what could have turned out to be a rather boring map, you've done really well
