Default Re: Militia and troops.

Ya, though it looks pretty preposterously out of scale if you take it literally, like a lot of stuff in stock (says the guy who made Proportions mod because he couldn't stand it quite so severe). I guess the "troops" must all be enormous hovering battleships or something. The ground combat in SEV is of course vastly more interesting from a tactics and gameplay perspective than in SEIV, but the literal representation is like conquering a planet, even a homeworld, involves one small urban section with some buildings on it, and dozens or at most hundreds of fighting craft on each side (and again no infantry), having a pitched shoot-out.

I'm trying to think how it would be possible to mod SEV ground combat to seem like a planetary-scale battle, and am having trouble. I think it would involve a lot of 3D modelling, for one thing...
