Well, I would probably beg the question entirely and settle for backgrounds and vignettes. Only the scouts and officers on the mountain see that sort of thng any way.

Most of my writing tends to change perspective to the individuals or groups fairly quickly.

Could you not simulate from a distance with lines of different "polypods"?

Or perhaps from closer up, if they are strucutred right..

From a distance, foot soldiers rather quickly break into segmented files, and you are not going to need much detail unless you are down in melees.

Then simulate that with a few detailed polypod groups, some mist or dust, and your "main players"?
