It can be as big as the grid of MoH Rad - but be warned, the bigger the map, the more efficient you will have to be or you'll get very low fps

It's a good idea to think of a nice layout before starting to create your map. The size doesn't really matter, it's very important that the player can't see too much. So don't create a lot of long roads, but make as many corners as possible. Remember small things don't block sight efficiently, so you must think of good places where you can use either a structural sky brush or a blind wall to get your map running at all speed possible.

It's mainly about detail brushes and you'll need knowledge about that also

"Structural skybrushes"
Would this mean adding some sky textures in front of / behind / around some buildings to cut down on LOS? (Line of Sight that is) For example, take a rectangle, and think of it like a cave with stalagtites(mites? the ones that hang from the roof, I forget), those that poke down help to block LOS, so you don't have the engine drawing long open spaces? Something like that?
