Size of maps?

The Seven Years’ War was fought across the globe and called by some the first “World War” as virtually every major power participated. In the center of events was Prussia, almost constantly at war and lead by the now legendary Frederick the Great.

Relive the exciting and trying days of Frederick the Great in Horse and Musket: Volume I, the improved and expanded combination of the previous Prussian War Machine and Prussia’s Glory titles. Horse and Musket: Volume I is a reboot of the successful Horse and Musket series, including not only two solid historical titles in one package, but also many new game features, a powerful new editor, and a complete graphics overhaul to an already acclaimed gaming system.

Size of maps?

Post by Le Tondu »

Tim,
Since there hasn't been any new screenshots or news for a while, it is safe to say that lots of work behind the scenes must be going on.

I'm not sure if this has been asked before.

HUGE maps are always an excellent thing in a game like this. I was wondering. Just how big will the biggest maps be for BPW:BoN?

Thanks in advance.

Rick

The game is set for 200x200 right now. Mostly a performance issue. I do want to expand to 500x500 if possible.

Frank is working on a game crash bug that has been a bear.

I believe that it is 100 meters per hex.

20 klicks by 20 klicks should be plenty of room to maneuver in! Unit numbers might be a problem.
