Other dimension separator

Can we use other separator for dimensions of maps? Currently it uses "/" so map "20/10" is twice as long as it is high.

At first at tutorial maps it quite confused me: I got three stars but only 20/25 of some points? Or is it number of units to maximum units? Some difficulty gauge? Only at like 4th map or so I realized what this means, thanks to those map preview images on the left.

I think "x" is much more used for this task. So "20x10" would convey "width 20, height 10" more comprehensibly, IMO.

How do you others feel about it? Did you realized what "20/25" at the first tutorial map means immediately?

You'd have to ask a rookie like DoomCarrot who actually went through the tutorials cause he didn't know how to play :lol:

Hardeep hahahaha :)

Well it seems pretty obvious that it would be on an x/y axis. Would it be best to clarify that in parentheses to save space?

I don't think "30x20" would take too more space than "30/20" currently is.

I actually never played the tutorials, to this day. :lol:
The first map I ever played was the "Great Swing" fiction map, and I got my butt kicked by the AI.
