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 hate games with small maps.

Nothing more frustrating than having to cross 10-20 maps to reach point B from point A when it could be made possible in 1-5 maps.

To each their own.
