Maps

[antisocialmunky]

How big are these maps in km by km? They seem bigger than the MIITW maps and some maps are much bigger than others(city vs field).

Does anyone have any good guestimations?

If I remember correctly, always a risk for me, it was said the standard battle map way 4km X 4km.

The sea battle map was just said to be larger…

Maybe I missed it or maybe I’m just crazy but it looks like that the battle maps are no longer geographically reflective of where you are on the campaign map??!!! So no more strategic placement of your units in woods on hills or at river crossings. Is this true? And are we back to the STW system of one battle map per province?

If so that’s kind of crazy, one of the best things about RTW and MTWII was that every battle you could fight somewhere new from the deserts of Africa to the steppes of Russia. Does any one know whats going on here?

I don't think it is one per province, I have seen different maps...

I have even seen a bridge (and ford) battle once...

However I do see the same map alot when attaching settlements (which is to be expected i guess)...

not my case. always different maps. placement of fences and such are different, and sometimes if i fight 2 battles close to one another, i can sometimes see a hill or so that i fought in the last battle in the distance.
