Getting the map larger

Ok, can anyone tell me how to scale my map to a larger size? I've seen maps at least twice as large as the normal battlefield you get after starting a new map project. How do I make mine get larger, so I have more space to put capital ship pieces?

Thanks in advance.

you go to terrian and go to create new terrian then type in to the two boxes 250,250

and presto its biger altho i suggjest delteing every thing form your map before you do this
other wise it has a chance of crashing upon loading

Ok, I'll try it.

I think it's gotta be by powers of two. So it has to be 128x128, 256x256, or maybe 512x512. I think anything higher is considered dangerous and will cause your map to crash.

Yep. just like food_eater said. You can't do 128x256 either. It's gotta be square, and a power of 2. And changing terrain size resets your old terrain, so be aware of that.

I looked around, but where is this terrain feature anyway?

In the upper-right corner of of the map there's a button called terrain. Click it, then 'create new terrrain' in the window that pops up.

ALSO, I'd recommend you stay away from anything larger than 256x256. Gameplay gets really slow otherwise. Not framerate, slow as in it takes forever to finish a match.
