Isn't the limiting factor the available system ram?

For the overhead, maybe try 112 x 352 or 56 x 176.

No not one of them worked out, in this Tutorial http://mythgraveyard.mything.org/index.php?what=read&fnord=00067 the person shed that for lager than 128x128 it can be dun,"but this is not for today", mb do i need a dif program to impot a over head map bigger than 128x128?

theoretically, maybe, but in my experience it's possible to have a mesh that's 2560x2560 load from the local but not even be recognised when it's built as a plugin. as far as i was able to determine, the element at fault was that the colour map collection exceeded some limitation in plugins for data size.

it seems that a mesh can't be as large as 100 submeshes and work in a plugin.

souly, before adventuring into unit making i strongly suggest learnign fear first. Best way to learn it is try-and-test. Open the fear documentations, change some little things on an archer or dwarf and then watch how they act in a map like willow creek. You can't just go from knowing nothing to "more advanced stuff".
