Another way to save cells is to look for things like staircases and make sure the space underneath has been filled in (unless you want it to be accessible, and in that case you could consider whether it adds enough to the gameplay to justify leaving it open).
Any complex terrain you have, in addition to using up a lot of cells, could well have some pockets of unused empty spaces where things don't quite meet.
There could also be spaces between the edges of that terrain and the outer faces of that part of the mission.
You could save quite a few cells by filling in those spaces before you start spending time simplifying what the player can see.

I'd be interested in your results if you post them here... :cool:
I made a small test mission, first trying it with the cylinder timing first and then the rectangle second, then compared that result to having the timing reversed. The number of cells was equal either way. :)
Thanks Robin! I have a lot of complex terrain and one stair case that has a room underneath. Both can be cleaned up using your suggestion.
