JK_3 I have about 1400 territories and 400 bonuses so it won't be this the problem

I've taken a look at the .svg file as well.
It's definitely doable. I'll walk you through some steps that help.

Most problematic are indeed the texts.
It's a nice font, so you don't want to touch the big titles, names and headers too much.
Instead, I gave each of the small texts (the street names and mountain names etc.) one ctrl-L.
Not all at once! Just selected each street name, pressed ctrl-L, selected the next, etc. Doing this one time for each street name separately keeps the font mostly similar (for the small text you'll barely notice), and the big text can stay as it is.
For me, this lowers file size from 3.16MB to 2.35MB.

Next, combine (ctrl-K) everything that has the same stroke and fill. Select all the small, black text (Edit > select same > fill and stroke helps) and combine it. Then do the same for all the small, white text. Then the big white text. Then select all the dashed lines (mountain routes?) and do the same. If you want to be thorough, you can even do the same for all the black arrows leading to the street names.
For me, this lowers file size from 2.35MB to 1.94MB.

Another thing you could do - but would be a bit more work - is redo the green background. Right now, every group of territories is "cut out" of the green background, so to say. This isn't necessary: territories will always show over background in Warzone anyway.
Instead, you could only draw the outlines of the green background and fill it green (and put it on the bottom of the layer for easier working). That would save a lot of nodes.
If you want to keep the black lines in between (not sure) you could just add those manually.
Not sure if I explained it well.
I tried it out, which brought file size down to about 1.88MB.

Then some smaller things:
Giving the lakes one ctrl-L each is another 0.01MB
Removing the "stroke paint" from each territory (Warzone will give them a stroke anyway) is another 0.02MB
Removing the "fill colour" from each bonus link (Warzone will give them a colour anyway) something similar.

All together, should be enough to get you well below 2MB without changing how the map looks in any significant way.

For future project, I'd advise to keep lines a little less wriggly (the dashed mountain paths, for example), to use octagons (or more) instead of circles and to pick a less fancy font. It would be a shame to have to redo it all at this point, so I hope the above is enough.


If all else fails, https://jakearchibald.github.io/svgomg/ is an amazing minifier.
Unlike the minifier JK_3 recommended, this one allows you to give really detailed settings about what you want to remove and what you want to keep.
It's been a while since I used it, so I don't know the exact settings you need any more. You'd have to play around with it a lot (and make back-ups!!!), but once you've got the right settings you can pretty much half the file size without changing anything about its appearance.
Always do this last, because it makes making changes very difficult.


Also also, please keep in mind most of these are tricks to lower the file size. They won't make the map run faster: in practice, I'd say the opposite.

Let me know if everything makes sense.

Now THAT'S a proper explanation.

yeah

I don't even understand this but thanks murk

longest, most complicated, explanitory, forum post i have seen

and i understand none of it

Well, if I ever have an SVG that’s too big, I know how to solve it now

that's probably cause i did not read and i am not specialized at computer stuff

This should be in some sort of manual. Thanks for the info!

Thanks so much Murk, I'll try to follow your advices and will let you know. What do you mean with "make the map run faster"?
P. S. If this works I'll write thanks to who helped me in the map, you all deserved it

It should make sense to the thread starter; judging from his map it looks like he knows his way around Inkscape.

For the background, you could copy the territories that are bordering your background's borders. Then combine those territories to create an outline, then simplify that, fill it with the desired color and paste it back into your map. It's a hacky solution but it should save a lot of nodes.

Probably loading times, reduces lag, etc.

Yeah, what Murk said makes sense to me, and thanks Farah for the kind words but this is the first "serious" map I make so I judge myself a beginner with Inkscape, anyway I'm glad you liked my map, I hope to be able to publish it soon.

if you manage to get your map uploaded, would you mind sharing the map preview link so I can see how it looks as well?

if you permanently delete it it will take up a negligible amount of space, you can literally store an infinite amount like that, with the minor inconvenience that you can't get them back

JK_3 how do I do that?

Substitute MapID for the ID of your map

Go to the map designer > Edit your map > Link for sharing (bottom green button) > Public link

Yeah, it wasn't very good general advice since it's based on this specific SVG file (which not everyone can even access).
Will be interesting to see the end result, indeed. It's looking good so far!


As for

What do you mean with "make the map run faster"?

Especially with the online minifiers (or by messing around in the data of the file yourself) you can cram a lot of extra stuff in the 2MB limit, but it tends to make maps slow.
To use a silly analogy: by pushing hard you can cram a lot more in a suitcase, but it will make for a very heavy suitcase.
I don't think this is relevant for your map; just a general advice.
