Reducing File Size

[Nethrezim]

My map size is 5,818 kb. I only added 7 heroes, 8 buildings and 4 units. Each hero has 4 custom abilities. How can I reduce the file size? I heard about optimizers... can you guys link me?

I guess you have many imported stuff, and/or kilotons of doodads.
You should not.

WC3 Optimizer can be found in the Useful Tools thread, but I doubt it'll bring your map below 4MB from it's current size.

Also, get rid of some imports, especially if there is a reasonable alternative already available in WC3

Yea, if you have any imported music/songs that will greatly increase file size as well.
