One change I really hate is that now units can all move into the same space, so you can have like 5 archer units (which each consist of about 20 guys) all occupying the same area, so when they fire there is a massive barrage of arrows. It looks shit.
I prefered it in BFME1 where units had to be spread out.

I'm not 100% sure but I think the maxi images put zeroes into the image some how. The zeroes inflate the fake image to the exact size of the actual DVD9. They make the image with A120% from the original and after it starts making the image they stop the image making process. This creates the entire file structure by name and not size. So, if you compress the fake image it will compress very well because it is filled with zeroes. Zeroes compress extremely well compared to lets say an actual complex jpg or exe. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I agree I had this happen to me on High Pass last night. I had 3 archer groups standing there in one group. Didn't look very good. Oh yeah, I must say that High Pass had some of the best ground textures I have seen yet. Ultra settings made the ice look photo realistic.
I did check out the cap limit option and it's insane!! LOL! It looks like you could set it to 100,000  . Can you imagine the Chop Chop! Crash! Some day we'll be able to play this game with 100K units on a Pentium 10 with 4ghz, 4gb video card and have the ultimate epic battles!

Yeah, I know what you mean. Because all the coolest battles were in the first one, this seems lacking somehow.
I also hate how you have to build like 20 of the farm type buildings to even get an effective army as any of the evil guys.

You could use the FinalBIG program to edit the INI.BIG file to change those attributes.
Here are some examples right from the INI.BIG sub file gamedata.ini :
I believe this is camera height:
CameraLockHeightDelta = 150.0
CameraTerrainSampleRadiusForHeight = 1.0 ;Controls how sensitive the camera height adjust is to nearby terrain. If you move the camera near a mountain, it'll raise up sooner with a large value.
;;OK TO UNCOMMENT ;; CameraEaseFactor = 0.2 ;for softening the tethered camera (while locked to an object or a drawable)
;These figures are compatible with the new 25-degree projection angle
;MaxCameraHeight = 750.0 ;230.0
;MinCameraHeight = 430.0
UseCameraInReplay = No ;Not working, don't use it yet.
CameraAdjustSpeed = 0.3 ; between 0 and 1 - this is how fast the camera snaps to the desired height
ScrollAmountCutoff = 50.0 ; arbitrary units - above this value, we don't update height while scrolling
EnforceMaxCameraHeight = No ; Obey max camera height while scrolling?
TerrainHeightAtEdgeOfMap = 100.0
UnitDamagedThreshold = 0.65
UnitReallyDamagedThreshold = 0.4
GroundStiffness = 0.8
StructureStiffness = 0.3
; acceleration due to gravity, in dist/sec^2
; note that our distance units are roughly one foot, so
; this corresponds to earth-normal gravity (32 ft/sec^2)
;Gravity = -32.0
; this "feels" better...
Gravity = -64.0
This is the Command Point area I was telling you about:
;;; COMMAND POINTS FOR SOLO PLAY HUMAN (INCLUDING LIVING WORLD) ;;;
;
; Command points are: [starting value] [maximum value].
;
GoodCommandPoints = 100 150
EvilCommandPoints = 300 350
GoodCommandPointsBonus = 20 ; bonuses for every territory captures in living world
EvilCommandPointsBonus = 50
;;; COMMAND POINTS FOR SOLO PLAY AI ;;;
GoodCommandPointsAI = 600 650
EvilCommandPointsAI = 600 650
;;; COMMAND POINTS FOR MULTIPLAY ;;;
GoodCommandPointsMP2 = 100 1000 ; 2 players
EvilCommandPointsMP2 = 100 1000
GoodCommandPointsMP3 = 100 875 ; 3 players
EvilCommandPointsMP3 = 100 875
GoodCommandPointsMP4 = 100 750 ; 4 players
EvilCommandPointsMP4 = 100 750
GoodCommandPointsMP5 = 100 675 ; 5 players
EvilCommandPointsMP5 = 100 675
GoodCommandPointsMP6 = 100 625 ; 6 players
EvilCommandPointsMP6 = 100 625
GoodCommandPointsMP7 = 100 575 ; 7 players
EvilCommandPointsMP7 = 100 575
GoodCommandPointsMP8 = 100 500 ; 8 players
EvilCommandPointsMP8 = 100 500
All you have to do is change the left number for instance:
Command points are: [starting value] [maximum value]
GoodCommandPointsMP2 = 100 1000 ; 2 players
Change the above line to:
GoodCommandPointsMP2 = 1000 1000 ; 2 players
Then you will start out at 1000 instead of 100. You wouldn't have to worry about building any farms except for resources.
Anyway, this may not be what you are looking for. I just wanted to show you that you can edit the intricate parts of the game.

You do know that the 1.03 patch is for BFME the first game right? BFMEII has had only one patch released for it and that is 1.01.

Wow, so it is capped at 30fps?! I will use FRAPS and check this out on my rig. Make sure you don't have VSYNC enabled. I will let you know what I come up with.

I am not at atll impressed by the graphics. I have all options except shadows maxed out (shadows are hell of ugly on max). Nothing you havent seen in a game yet. Look at the goblin units. Poor animation and low polygon count. Ugly colors. The unit textures are medium quality compared to other games, the animation is medium and in those "bloody" battles there is the -blood- missing. Units hitting other units show a white "blob", what just doesnt look right.
Resolution cant be set to 1280x1024.
On the other hand people are writing that in the colectors edition many textures are way better (plus those bonus maps). Is there any addon released yet, that contains just the CE bonus files?
