A '''3D skybox''' gives a map huge views without a huge map. You build the land beyond the playable area (hills, cliffs, distant buildings, a far shore) as a '''miniature''' at 1/16 size, and the game shows it 16 times bigger all round the map, ~~kilometres~~ out, shifting as you move the way real distant scenery does.
