Army Character in the World Map

[Belisarius]

Well, this may be tiny, but I think the rider representing your troops across the world map should be more dynamic. Not always the same dude on leather jerkin riding a horse or not. Either could represent your own character more accurately, or your own troops. Or both, like 4 characters together 2x2, being you the leading right one holding the banner, the leading left one the most representative unit type and those following other unit types in your army.

that's a good idea

but do you mean like one person on the map = like 10 men??

I think he means to have all parties the same size, if not it would get really crowded when 10 big lords hang around.. their icons would overlap eachother making it hard to select the Lord you want to speak with.

But to have a tiny, tiny army of 4 people should be no problem I think.

Kind of think for every 50 man in the army add another rider to the icon on the map, would make a difference, but not make it to overcrowded.

 

[Belisarius]

My main concern is the constant "looks" of the character in the world map.

yeah i see what you mean

you could have a bloody fully plated dude but on the map he's just got a leather jacket...

the creators could also employ your idea for the towns, castles and villages (i know that there is more than one skin for them but they should make them individually)
