Thanks for the advice.
I've gathered that jpg format is the way to go due to the greater compression while maintaining quality.
I ran a little experiment with gimp. I took a 14 megabyte png map file and exported it as a jpg file while reducing the quality in 10% increments. My goal was to see what the quality looked like at each increment. I was trying to get the 14 megabyte file under 1 megabyte while maintain a suitable quality. Based off the results I think I'll convert them to jpg and then use gimp to reduce them in size by 50%.
This works well for reference maps, but for a battle map not so much as the map starts to pixelate. Anyone have experience with Battle map images? I'd like to import battle maps for use in player view and fog of war, but this seems like it might bloat the database.
