I've noticed that in the adventure editor when you want to increase the size of a creature, you can turn it into an epic, but nothing more. Measures can only make up between 30-40 meters. Honestly I think too small. You can get a greater effect reducing the size of the captain that the player will control, but not much good. Express your opinion.

Well, some of the largest dinosaurs that walked the earth were only 30-40 metres tall.

Try making your creatures big in the editor, that way you can make bigger epics

too msall

Make a generally large creature for the epic and a small creature for the captain. Make the captain as small as you can and the epic as big as you can. The difference is pretty awesome.

I did it in a VotD adventure, although the captain-creature was regular sized, but small in the adventure. It turned out to be as tall as the epic (humanoid) ankle.

The creature on the right is a captain sized up as far as the game allows, and both are about the same size in the editor. The only problem with having creatures this large is that every navigational problem with the AI is increased with the size. The camera also isn't dynamic, so captains this size can be unplayable.

Does it share? If so, adventure link is needed!

It shares, but I haven't uploaded this adventure just yet. I planned to upload it in a few minutes today, anyway.

I'll download it and check it out later!

Yes, you can create a tall, menacing creature in the editor, and create an Epic creature in the adventure editor, but if you want the theme to truly feel like your a weakling fly pitted against a gargantuan monstrosity, I suggest making the creature invincible and making your captain weak. This method also works for buildings and vehicles. I used this trick in one of my adventures where you were forced to escape a giant's abandoned manor with an evil pet that was abandoned.
