How can custom Civ3 units be better than Civ2?

Steve,

you dont know the true size of in-game units. so dont start assuming they will look the same.

Its pretty obvious that a Civ-3 unit, per definition, cannot outgrow/overlap the size of the indevidual map-tile it standing on, dont you think? The player moves the unit from one map-tile to another map-tile. Thats the whole point with the system.

And the map-tiles themselves can only "grow" if one zoom the whole map back and forth.

The assumption is that we are going to have the option to play on a larger map (greater than 100x100). What scale would you propose that can effectively manage (or view) 100s of units over 10,000+ tiles?
