There are times when you want to fight on a particular type of map, open and at long range if you want to ride around an enemy on foot and shoot them, tight in the forest if the other way around, etc., so you try and engage on a spot on the map that looks like it might give you the battle map you want.
A lot of times the terrain you fight in is random, you can find yourself in a clearing when on the map you're in a forest, other way around, the map can be bigger or smaller, it can be unpredictable.
It would be cool if you could try and choose the type of engagement map you wanted before a battle and how close you start to the enemy. Scouting and tactics would seem to be logical skills to impact the success of this, along with the terrain type you are on when you join battle.
Maybe the opposing leader's party's skills could compare to yours for a final score to affect the rng on the actual map layout for a battle.
