Unit actualy Sizes
4 Attachment(s)
Hey, I was thinking a bit. As I've mentioned before, the units are really tightly-packed. However, they also look very small. :confused: When zooming down to lowest camera point, a unit wont take much place at all, you'll see more of the sky than the unit. Maybe the units are under-dimensioned? I mean, perhaps every individual should actually be a bit larger?
Im not sure if it is either the camera or their actual size. It might be a mix of both. If camera could go lower, they would ofcourse look bigger, but even at that low point, they should be a bit larger (I think). See attachments, 2 pictures from Real Warfare 2, compared to 2 pictures from Napoleon Total War (Just for comparing). I've taken camera to lowest position on both RW 2 pictures, and at one of the Napoleonic pictures (the other one is slightly higher up). It is a quite big difference :eek: Is this something that can in an easy way be changed/adjusted/improved? (It's still a great game) :-P |
Take present her the space between soldiers is not a graphical effect like in the TW but has impact on the battle mechanics and so also the numbers of lines. I think the effect is due to fact TW soldiers appears a little bigger with near camera.

And also do not forget that people used to be smaller than are now just look at armors in museums though northern people were for long time known to be taller than Mediterraneans for example in Ancient and Medieval times.:grin:
I am more-less kidding of course when looking on topic but it is true as a fact (and also it is always tempting for me to search for other than obvious answer). I would like to know whether besides game mechanic difference alteration of size could change performance too because as for me I would prefer rather no pushing performance more. |

So it is possible making the units bigger? :O |

Technically speaking - I doubt that something like general scale factor for all game models exist (correct me if I'm wrong). So if you significantly change the size of a soldier it means that you have to change size of all objects to make the whole game looks "on scale" and believable (e.g. knights can't ride ponies). It needs a lot of work and time. IMHO the devs can better spend this time creating some new content rather than working on a cosmetic changes like the size of a soldier. |

And a bit more loose formations. |
If considering what was diet of "irregulars" - peasants in comparison to knights than they should be "bigger" than peasants. On the other hand just their gear should make them so. :cool: I remember that in Golden Horde game it was big difference even in size among those different levels of troops. When I zoomed bigger battle it was nice to see visually some "giants" among "regular" soldiers. (though I did not like that huge difference like in Warcraft III for example where heroes were too big among the rest of army)
