Boundries around the maps

I suggest to add a coloured line where the invisible wall boundry starts around the map, it would help to know so cavalry dont keep bumping into it constantly.

It doesn't even have to be a coloured line just something to show where the invisible wall starts around the map.

Have to say that can be a major annoyance. Having an epic cavalry chase only to have all of you run into a wall. And some maps the boundary is far further than you'd expect, and others far closer. However, not sure how you would do this without it looking very ugly.

When I hit invisible wall it piss me off, but if I chase some other cavalry guy and I know this guy will soon hit this fucking forcefield - priceless :D
You need to learn the map.

Fence or forest in middle of desert ? :)

Btw big fences, are you German sir ? :D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auschwitz_concentration_camp

I like that idea, a boundry of trees for grassy maps (snowy trees for snowy maps) and rocks for desert maps.

Would look damn stupid TBH. There is a prop that's a  "white line", like those in a football field. But, meh..

This is a HUGE undertaking, not worth the time invested, but if you feel that strongly about it perhaps you should fire up the o'l map editor and give it a go.
