The large battles didn't feel very epic.There's instructions on Slitherine forum about how to adjust the number of figures in units. I gave it a whirl, looks a bit more epic. Only a minor slow down on my machine when a large group move is used, other than that no issues through 2 battles. This is a very large custom battle.

Nice!

Although at that point, there isn't much lateral maneuver space left on the map.  :(

From the mini map you can see how much space the water takes up. That is the biggest map size, wonder if that can be modded.

One thing you can do is send your units off map on a flank end around and they might show up on the enemy flank. Just had the AI do that to me, surprised me when they showed up on my flank after my reserves had been committed. I haven't tried it myself yet, but apparently you can do it. Although there's no guarantee they show up before the battle ends.

You can't do that deliberately.  You only can sort of do that when you select Flank March scenario.  But the routine will chose which units to send on flank march.

In Open Battle, the enemy will randomly perform a flank march on you. But it's not deliberate but more of a random occurrence.

Didn't know that, thank you sir.

So I got my Matrix anniversary coupon today and was looking at getting this game and its expansion. Do people still play and enjoy the game?

52 hours in and counting.

Waiting for Round 2 of the Holiday Tourney to start.

It is not without certain imperfections -- and my wait continues for live MP -- but it remains a favorite here.

Thanks for the reply. I'm still debating it as the coupon is good for a month and FoG II is not on sale now anyway.

Massive mod coming our way.
http://www.slitherine.com/news/2477/Field.of.Glory.II.-.Tabletop.Mod

Will this tabletop mod be compatible with the Steam version?

You can download the mod directly from the game, clicking on the "Download community scenarios" button in the upper left side of the Main Menu, Epic Battles or Campaigns screen.

Worked for me on Steam for the previous big mod  (The Silk Road mod created by Jomni http://steamcommunity.com/app/660160/discussions/0/1621724915765912209/) so should work for this one.
