Need .sgb, not .sga.
archive.exe -a [mapname.sga] -e c:\temp FTW? |

It's ridiculous, even the average Relic map is only 30mb.
Abbeville is only 22mb...

Why the fuck is your map 47mb in size?
Oh good god. I just opened it again and found out why. He used 18 different tile textures. The recommended max is like five it's eight, isn't it? Duckordie: please see http://wiki.relicrank.com/index.php?title=Texture_Tile_Painting_Editor particularly the section labeled "Rules" at the bottom. And the guide to optomization: http://wiki.relicrank.com/index.php?title=OptimizationBoth of these are essential to keeping a map playable. As an example of something you can optimize: in many places you have pine trees placed within regular groves. Delete the pines and the grove and place a pine grove instead, you can find it under "trees_l." This will help with the size. Also, it will take work, but you need to reduce the number of tile textures to a max of three per chunk. The rest of the coloring should be done using splats, not tiles. Almost every tile has a similar splat and splats are much lighter memory footprint than tiles. |

I haven't noticed any problems with a ton of tiles lately, so it should work fine.

The recommended amount of tiles is 3 in any one grid. Any more and you start to have performance issues on older computers.

Well, I mean if you look at relic maps, they often have more, but you want to try to get it to 3-4 max per chunk. You can see the chunks and the tile per chunk count in the tile tool.
Reducing the number of tiles won't fix your map problem, but it will help with performance once it gets working. You have a lot of textures that are similar, so your best bet is to use one of each similar texture. There should be a way to delete a texture and replace it with another. Check the wiki and see what it says.

But, what point is it, to fix the textuer "lag" problem, if the map still won't work?

Well I'm assuming here that you will get the map to work. Hopefully Unk0wn will find the root of the problem.
