Maps from Troy?

[curse2022]

I found out that Pharaoh uses the maps from Troy. That is weird as it is a brand new game. Troy was Saga and it's maps are tiny and I expected new bigger maps here.

Wh maps are 4x4, 3k 4x4, Troy 4x4, twp 4x4, twpd new maps 6x6. what was itnin km? 1km*1km for 4x4 and 1.5km*1.5km for Mesopotamia. Somebody can correct me if I'm wrong.

I think it's the rich terrain features that make them feel smaller, even though their the same soze as wh maps.

Well I played Troy pretty lot and now I see the same maps, just copies of the maps from Troy

Wait.. are the maps not based on where the armies meet? Instead just pre-set?

I am ok with troy maps IF devs added enough extra maps because this means more overall content for us.

AFAIK TW WH have all game tiles attached to a map. And attached maps are from pre-set. So war grounds are based on both pre set and location.

That's a bummer... I always liked how they used to reflect WHERE the two armies made contact. That felt great from an immersion perspective.

Is it like that? Because I'd say Rome 2 maps where bigger. If you set a full stack of chariots you cand touch both ends easily.
In Pharaoh, like in Troy, battlemaps are super small for my taste.

Yeah they said they copy them from Troy in a dynasty dev diary.

From my understanding yes, though one can affectvthe scaling of units. I haven't checked, but if one scaled down units they would be smsller on the map, giving the illusion of bigger maps. Dunno, but could imagine it varies from game to game.

The 4x4 and 6x6 map size is from one of the Dynasties dev diaries.

Here's the battle map diary. Don't remeber where I saw the devs mention that the 4x4 is the default for wh etc. too. Though someone with proper googling skills will most likely find it too.
