Bigger than 256x256
I saw in SCMDraft that you can go bigger than 256x256 but I tried to play a map bigger than that and it didn't work. Is it possible to make a map bigger than 256x256 that plays, if so please let me know and what dimensions work.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Okay, so far, everybody knows that it's impossible, but I heard that an RPG (Pylon RPG) has been able to do so, but I never saw it... It's a rumor =o
So let's considere the answer is "No".

i seen 0x256 and 256x10
None.
In short, not really.
I believe it crashes only if it's your first game, or maybe that was something else. Either way it's not worth it, since you can just control the field in which you play.

You would never need anything larger than 256x256.
Most 256x256 maps would work in 192x192. Starting a map that's 256x256 reduces your chances of ever actually finishing it. You can always change it to 256 later if you really need more room, but you wont.

Yeah I know this was more of a "what if" question, not only that but also think about max units.
None.
You cannot make it any larger than 256 on any dimension, as the minimap of SC simply cannot support it. While you can make it almost any size smaller, SC can support smaller than 256, just not over 256.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically[2026-6-21. : 4:26 am]
Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new
