    :shock: Two people voted to INCREASE the size?! Haha that's madness!

    Either some people have some serious vision problems, or they got confused about what increasing the scale means.

    Or maybe they just disapprove some part of the community is complaining about design decisions made by Uber.

    Hey we gotta be fair and leave the poll as neutral as possible.

    I've extended frostiken's image to show what and increase in size would look like also.
    check out the first post, it's very interesting.

    While i can understand many people could be OK with current scale, it's hardly diffcult to believe a few of them are honestly willing to have units scaled up. If so they are really looking for some kind of Lego Factory RTS :lol:

    Would be pretty disappointing if that was true. Surely we all want the same thing... to make PA the best game possible?

    Except TA didn't really have to worry about scale in relation to terrain. You oftentimes couldn't even tell how tall terrain was.

    Spring did scale right, IMHO. You could easily distinguish a towering mountain or industrial complex from a small hill or a civilian abode.

    Whats up with that? Units and structures are way too big, and we cant zoom in as far... are we looking at an engine limitation here or just dev choices?

    I'd like Uber to acknowledge this threads existence at least.

    I'm sure they've seen it. What would you want them to say?

    On the original subject I agree, structures being the size of small mountains is a little too over the top.

    Wait for the beta.

    Right now, Uber is focusing on;

    bugs,
    bugs,
    getting Mac + Linux support up to full speed,
    bugs.
