Larger Battlemaps mod

Description
Increases the size of all the pre-dynasties battlemaps (that are 4×4 in size) by about 20%.

Disclaimer:
Haven't tested it on all maps, so there could be bugs related to bigger map size. For example reinforcements could join the battle behind a hill thats impassable. If that happens for you in a battle, there is nothing I can do, because I would need to edit the map itself. Though since the mod just changes a few .xml and doesn't add anything new, it should be save to remove the mod, and then play a battle where your reinforcements got stuck without the mod.

I tried to move the map border for settlement battles too, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. Same for ambush battles.
When someone out there has an idea or knows how to do it I would like to know.

Good job bro.
Keep improving it; dynasties is horrible in map size

I don't know if the author can do something about it, but sometimes when one side of the battle has reinforcements, some unit of the reinforcement army can get stuck inside a city or fort wall or in an inaccessible place like a mountaintop.

Can you also enlarge the deployment zones? That would improve this mod even further

Yes its save compatible. You can add or remove it safely in an ongoing campaign.

is it save compatible?

You did great, thank you, and also for this quick answer.
The base game is offering battle maps that are way too small in my opinion, so your 20% more are already great to break that claustrophobic feeling.
Very nice !

Yeah its possible to go bigger than 20% but the issue is that the terrain outside the default map size isn't completely done. You could see units walking through a cliff, or some part just cut off from the map for no reason, because its surrounded by impassable terrain.

To get all the legacy Pharaoh maps to the same size like the new Mesopotamian ones, someone would need to edit all the maps by hand and increase their size in the Assembly Kit, as well as fix the terrain.

The current 20% is just a compromise to get maps that aren't that cramped like before and thus give you (and the AI) a little bit more room to maneuver, but I didn't make it too big that these map bugs get into extremes.

@Xanth:
Just a question of curiosity, because I didn't really know, could they be increased even larger than 20% ?

Nice - can't wait to test it out!
