One more question: grid or no grid?

Ok...here's the 100 px version, in 2 halves. Let me know if these are a pain to use, and I can upload the whole map to a filesharing site.
Next encounter.
Are things like the little triangles for difficult terrain needed in MapTool, or should I get rid of those too?
They can be added via MapTool markers, but speaking as a GM I'd almost prefer you keep them, so that I do less work. You may want to offer a version with and a version without, since I can certainly imagine other GMs wanting to place them themselves (so that they can be hidden if necessary).

Great work Wonko! Thanks heaps. Yes, 100px maps are best but to be honest I'm more than happy with 50px versions where needed. Gridless is definitely best, otherwise I have to match the MT grid to the one on your map - which is easy enough if they are exactly 50px maps but still another step I have to take. Again, I defintely think the difficult terrain markers are best on your map - as Giddle said it's one less step I have to take.
Cheers

...and the next one; in 2 halves again, with and without a grid.
Adding the grid to the previous maps pushed the size over 7 MB...I'm not sure why, since it's the same number of pixels.
Looks like I'm going to have to find a place to host the full files, since I personally think splitting them into halves is just making more work.
Try saving it as .Jpg instead of .png as that made a huge difference for me.
