    Occam's razor of modding... the simplest solution is often the best, and yours is as simple as they come (it’s so simple, it’s brilliant, if you can’t upscale the map, downscale everything else).

    But I have to say that by tweaking the size of the trees, and lowering the area taken up by forests, I have found this makes the battle map seem a lot larger. Perhaps it's just a matter of scale, but I was pleasantly surprised.

    The battle areas for sieges are larger than for normal battles, perhaps there's a way to have a normal battle on a 'siege' scale field. I wonder what it is that determines the size which size the game uses...

    Yes I'v seen DukeJohn's idea for making bigger maps (scale down the size of every object in the game) I think it's a great Idea. It would mean that you couldnt zoom down to the battlefield quite as close but personally I think it would be worth it.

    Also for people who it would bother, the camera hack modpack is an excellent way to retain that close-up feeling.

    What about city battles? Would all buildings need to be scaled down? Would siege equipment (like towers) be twice as large or scaled down too? How much work is all of this? I'm curious, but just wondering. Bridges can't be scaled down can they? Are people harder to hit with arrows and sling bullets? Harder to hit with swords or spears? Do the look right when you zoom down into the action (with moviecam or something) - meaning do they still fight person to person or are there weird gaps? What about phalanxes? Are there gaps or are there more men in a unit? hehe. lotsa questions. again- just curious.
