Between pro and anti empire forces or something?


Thoughts?

Only if the new engine supports 'impostering', or DOW style ''squad" units; neither being great; and likely none supported.

The biggest scale battles this developer has ever made in their games has always felt pretty shallow and tiny to me. I'd rather see things kept more "personal" in combat. I'm satisfied with 'large scale' battles being waged between my PC and a giant flying lizard.

Only if they've made phenomenal leaps in AI with regard to their past tendencies to unerringly get between me and whatever I'm swinging at, no matter what I do to prevent it. Hell, at the Great Gate battle outside Bruma I'd turn and run across the battlefield directly away from everything except that latest gate to open, with everyone busily fighting Daedra where I left them- and first swing at the other end of the field, "Hey! I'm on your side!" :facepalm:

If they haven't made earth-shattering improvements on that front, I'm all for no big battles.

if there is a huge battle id like your part in it to be specific so it doesnt seem like the game is trying too hard to simply show how many characters can be on the screen
