Default Re: Is the battlefield too small?

How many are we talking about here? I don't tend to play on maps bigger than Orania so I've never seen an army of more than about 500 Ermorian chaff. Presumably you have to hit four digits before either hosting or battlefield size becomes a problem?

I've never hit the battlefield limit but I think it would be cool to have the potential for even bigger battles, like a scaleable field size.

I don't think it's too small, but I do think the trees in front should be removed - they prevent you from getting a good zoomed-out view of the action
And yes, a moddable/scalabel battlefield size would be helpful!

Well, 'w' does remove all terrain & landscape graphics, but it would be nice not to have to look at a dull grey grid simply because too many trees in the foreground block the view.

Unless, of course, someone wanted to make a space mod for Dominions... that would be interesting... the gameplay of Dominions with the setting of SE4...
