I'm going slightly offtopic here :Originally Posted by Derfasciti
I'm not sure I'd like to have 30,000 men battles in this game.
I usually prefer tactical perspective over fancy animations close-ups, but I still like to actually be able to tell there's man and horse down there. Right now, with 3000 critters on the field I'm zoomed out to max height 90% of the time - I can't really see my men as anything but tiny ants. If the field were to accomodate 10 times as many, I'd have to be 3x higher to get the same coverage of the battle. That would be like watching bacteria melee in a petri dish.
I think the current representation ratio of aprox. 10-to-1 offers the best compromise : full assessment of the battle with one quick glance from above, while still being able to see arrows flying and swords swingin, all this without having to constantly zoom in and out.
