Ask the Experts / What is a 9-maps?

Hey guys,

I read this term on a screenshot from Ekspert and thought he meant he wanted to make nine maps . . . very ambitious. 

][ntamins reaction made me somehow question this :p But I can't find out what it is. Can someone explain it?

Yes, it's a project that covers nine maps that fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. If each map is 150x150, it's essentially a 450x450 map broken up in nine pieces. Projects of that scale are exceptionally rare.

That sounds a lot like what I thought it meant. Thanks for clarifying Liam.
