I'm working on building some areas on my map, now i originally was thinking of using tiles of about 33x33px to comprise each block on the map, as I was working on just setting some background-colors for my tiles i thought wow, for my mini map in the corner it takes a second to load up all the spans, so here is basically what Im thinking now.

Placing a major tile which will contain the background/forground image of what the character is looking at or is on. Example a grass field, or a section to a road block. Now with this said should I have a mysql table set for the world titled map blocks which will contain (xyz (x 100))coordinates, along with the type of land it will be? then have another table with the independant coordinate? or is there a way I could maybe place them in the same table or anyone else have an idea on it?

Thanks
