(i think) or mb, i don't care, my point is: even though dota's about 7 times the size people don't mind taking the time to go the http://www.getdota.com and downloading the map. i wonder, is there some other reason why the map makers of battle tanks need to keep the file size so small? perhaps thier hard drives are full and that's all they can fit? i'm guessing it's got something to do with the size of files they can allow poeple to download off their websight. that's just a guess. i don't know.Well the battle tanks are much less popular than dota, and dlers are much more common when hosting Battle tanks games than dota games. Mappers have a low size policy, which gives faster online dl. The mapper of dota expect everyone to download dota from the homepage, and popularity of dota is so high that he can afford much stuff into the map since almost everyone who joins a dota game already had downloaded the map.
That's not the case with battle tanks. It's also meant to be dl'ed fast online.
