Still, the battlefield seems cramped. No explanation is going to cover that.

((Well what do you want me to do? Pull a shrink ray in from somewhere? I suppose I could. You literally logged onto Steam to tell that fact which Dex and I were perfectly aware of to both of us recently then immediately logged off. Here's an example of what the field might look like if everything was smaller.))

That actually looks pretty good.

Yeah, it actually makes sense.  Dex's troops are from another universe, they would likely be a different size, just because of evolution.  Also, it scales, so Freeform and Dex are even.  Not to mention, they could always draw more map if they really, really wanted.  And as you just saw, Freeform could easily make his units smaller.  But he didn't, Dex made his small.  He mentions that too.  So yeah, it looks nice as it is.

I think the slaughter part is what made them angry.

You could make the battlefield itself larger, I guess? I don't know. I've bothered you enough about this.

Yeah, it actually makes sense.  Dex's troops are from another universe, they would likely be a different size, just because of evolution.
I find it more likely that they would be the same size, more or less, and look different than that they would look the same except for size. Anyways, why is the Might's side so much smaller?

I suggest they do use that smaller-scale image.

Well, the human form is a fairly effective one, if they were on similar planets, which in theory they would be, since very few types of planets can support life, they should look the same.  Or you know, just chalk it up to wacky coincidence.  But it really isn't our place to tell Dex and Freeform how to do their duel.

Just let it be as it is. It's totally fine. It isn't small or cramped, it's perfectly fine.

If you use evolutionary lack-of-coincidence to justify something, don't chalk something else which is much less probable up to coincidence. And I was giving a suggestion, not an order. I just think freeformschooler's mockup of a shrunken battlefield looks better than the one they were using. It also makes the bridge less of a random thing they could probably avoid by jumping and more of an important tactical consideration.

Freeform: Best forum game artist on Bay12
Hear those screams? That's the lost souls of DarkerDark and PlutoniumApe begging to differ.

(And Robocorn. I wish they'd come back and continue their stuff, but eh, hopeful dreaming :()


I'll come back... eventually. I'm just surprised that anyone remembered me. Though it probably helped that I posted earlier in the thread.
