You know, the interesting drawback of a "huge" map in this regard is the fact that the battle map is 58x28. Assuming that the map is absolutely jampacked wall to wall with human-sized units, this means that there is room for, at most, 4872 units. Halve this number for the number of units that a single side can consist of and still fit on their side of the battlefield at start, resulting in 2436 mans per side. The 1200 troops you mention comes rather dangerously close, especially if not all of them are human sized, such as longdead horse.

Obviously, this number can be larger if the army consists of longdead hoburgs. But you're seeing a clear problem here.

Well hopefully the developers will provide a solution in Dominions_3 for the number of units in battle. Probably the best solution is something similar to what Lords_of_the_Realm_2 did for battles.
