i like savagebananamans idea ^^ seems like the best one,

fixed

I like the scaling.  It makes it handy when you're zoomed out to have nice big characters to easily keep track of everything, and it makes the world seem all the bigger when you zoom in and realize you're not a titan, just a dude in a field surrounded by wolves and trolls. 

Perhaps various types could have a threshold set where at a certain point they'll stop scaling - like Ogres, for example.  Maybe they stop getting smaller halfway to the point that humans do, so that no matter what they'll always appear towering over you.  It would sort of give a curved-scale effect when zooming out, too...as it would seem like the huge creatures simply zoom slower, and humans zoom faster, to reach their pewter counterparts.  That may also be entirely too complicated and not worth anybody's time.

So: Scaling get's my vote

when i play i usually am zoomed out to the point just before it goes to cloth map. using cloth map for an over veiw or to scroll quickly (or to gloat over the sweetness of my kingdom). so id say id prefer the units to scale down as i zoom, so i can still see them.

I like the scaling with zoom

harpo

Having units grow all huge as you zoom out looked initially silly to me, however I quickly got used to it as it was useful for finding units I wanted quickly. However, finding them on the empire tree or cloth map should be just as viable, and as such them becoming mountainous is an expendable feature.

However, I do greatly like the fact that they grow smaller when zooming in. I can see how others can think it would look silly, but they need to consider what it looks like when you have 80 men in that 1 tile. It looks more silly to not have them "shrinking" to fit the environment properly.

Additionally it looks better when zoomed in that they fit to scale with the little peoples in the town.

I prefer the scale as they zoom option if we have to pick one or the other.  However, I agree that the check box should remain as I see uses for both.

I prefer the scaling.

I dont really care that much but i think i like fixed better.  Hopefully we can have the option to change like you have there.

The second one is better, or units just become too big when you zoom in. Leave the box though. I may change my mind.

I'm with Raven - I'd rather the units have a fixed size, and thus look smaller the farther out I'm zoomed. The scaling has bothered me ever since we got the 3D graphics.

I would like to keep the option, though (and as it's already in, I don't even feel bad about asking for that )

What he said!

Thus...fixed.
