MO1 the map was to small... it was 8x8km.. or 64sqkm. MO2 is roughly 5 or 6 times that, which is fine. The map isnt to big, I mean to me it is small still, but I am a person who feels one shouldnt spend a week traveling around and see everything in game. It should take months to get to know a map not days. I mean horses are a bit slower than real horses in some ways but also a far more believable speed than other games. Your typical horse in the game moves about 8m/s or about 24km/h or 18mph(ish). Which is slow for a real horse.. but a horses sustained speed over distance is pretty slow. Your average horse does about 24mph at a gallop which is faster than our current 18mph in speed 3. But not every horse is equal and they dont have breeding in yet which drastically changes how mounts act.
