Battle size option... only reduces the size of YOUR army??!
Just changed the battle size in my settings before trying to take a castle. The battle is 850 (me) vs 300(enemy). I tried with 1000 max limit and it was unplayable so I set the setting at 650 max. Now at the start of the battle... my army has 350 men while the enemy still has 300??! I thought it wuld reduce the size of both armies equally.

Please tell me this is a bug, otherwise this is beyond stupid as it will ake it impossible to win any big fight without a top-end computer.

I'm totally guessing here, but my blind guess will be battle sizes decide which troops deploy based on the army's leader tactic skill, which AI nobles tends to have pretty high, so they place more troops than you once size is limited.

It's not a bug that's how it was in warband too. That's why they have no choice but to improve optimisation if the game is designed for 1000 men battles. Or they should indeed scale down battles depending on number of men in each group.

Is this fixed yet? This is the only reason I do not continue to play, I cannot have my army of 1400 defend a siege of my castle (of 2300 enemy units).

OP it would help if you provided screenshots. 850+300 = 1150. Thats more than 1000, so you have not given correct info.

The way they deal with large armies causes more problems than it solves.

It also makes spawn points necessary which can cause all sorts of problems

They should just use the ratio of your army to enemy and fight the battle with the correct ratio of troops rather than the correct number no spawn points needed.

eg: if I have 800 and the enemy have 400 I should have 2-1 ratio in my favour so it shouldn't matter what I set as the max I still get twice as many men as soon as the maximum is reached.

So in this case if i was using max 1000 I'd get 2/3 x 1000 ( 666 ) and the enemy would get 1/3 x 1000 (333) If the max was set at 600 I'd get 400 and the enemy would get 200

Either way it would reflect the reality that I outnumbered the enemy if I took 50% casualties to win the battle I'd lose 400 ie the percentage of my original army regardless of the actual number on the field
