The battlefield is the real heart of the game, the place where all the development and recruitment strategies are put to the test, and also the place where you can spend half of the gaming time or more. So this is an area of the design where a lot of effort has been made.

We have started making tests on this subject around February 2004, which is already more than two years ago. At that time the question was about what system we would be aiming for, how it would be shown, how cameras would benefit from the 3D action, and how the interface would bring in additional gameplay or serve the action. The underlying question was about the size of the arena.
