This is just for curiosity's sake :D

How many of you can play a 15-17 sized map on SB?

Yes that would be true... But if you lowered the graphics detail on your parents pc, would it be better? 'Cause I'm gonna be making a huge map and I want to make it so most if not everyone can play it with minimal lag :)

If you want to make a huge map without lagg, you can use like 14-15 map size, and make sure you don't use 2 many models (especially trees), because they are 2 detailed 2 be used without lagg 2 much times

Yeah, I don't get why trees are so laggy... It bugs me...

I'll do me best, it all depends on what I can build with cubes :P

I can use larger maps, but I don't because it takes too long to fly around in edit mode.
