    As Geers said, pretty tall.
    Edit: Also, check out the humans in relation to the other units. Who knew the feeble Dox was so large?

    It's as tall as a tank, of course it's large! :p

    (This is also the reason I find those arguments of "How could infantry run faster than a tank, do you see modern day infantry running as fast as a tank?" no, of course not, but the dox is taller than the tank, this means it has very long legs... long legs means more distance between each step, and that means faster... The T-Rex runs at about 25 - 40 mph iirc and it's this tall compared to a person:

    They are, they are the best builders, with a omni weapon, and a uber cannon that you start the game with, for free.

    The commander is the strongest unit in the game.

    Which is why the game ends when you lose them.

    Ive used a ruler on the screen. about 3 cm. so at least twice the size on an ant.

    The real problem is that the is very little to tell scale by in the game. Because there is so few terrain features and doodads.

    Well you do know our current planets are no where near the size of Earth to scale, it'd need to be a couple hundred thousand in the settings I believe.

    aaaaaaand here's what I miss. Something to show off scale of awesomeness. Like in Pacific Rim, you wouldn't have felt those giant Jaegers and Kaiju to be so huge unless they put in some helicopters and boats and stuff for scale.

    We need the same here. Something human size to show off how big and badass units are, even the Dox.

    I don't know if you guys noticed but there is a vertical pole to the right of the commander line that is patterned the same way as the striped pole laying down showing 10 meters. So I would put the commanders at 11-13 meters tall.
