Question about Map Sizes

I was browsing through the map files, and I think a couple of them are wider than the maximums (600 and 800), which I thought were very strict.

This newer map for instance:

8 Thoughts
<smallwidth>675</smallwidth>
<smallheight>535</smallheight>
<largewidth>820</largewidth>
<largeheight>650</largeheight>

Is that allowed then?

The sizes are more of a guideline than a strict rule. They're there to try and keep maps suitable for everyone's monitors and resolutions.

in the rules it says:

You must design two versions of the map: a small (up to 600 px wide), and a large (up to 800 px wide). Height is flexible, but it is recommended that you do not exceed 350 px on small maps and 600 px on large maps so that users will not need to scroll down to attack.

but these are just for generalinformation they are more of a guideline than a strict rule.

if the map really needs to be larger for a good reason then it will be alloed but if it can be made smaller without any negative effects on the overall image or gameplay it won't be allowed.

my china map also is wrong, its nearly a square, so if i wanted to have the good formats then it would be a very tiny map
