How hard do you think this would be? I ask since a friend of mine asked me, but I have no clue about mapping.

People have been trying to do this for a while now ever since ETW and NTW. I do not think anyone has managed it so far.
I noticed that when playing a large custom battle between say 4 or even 8 clans, the battle map is enlarged. It is the same map, but the area you play in is expanded. You can see it in game and on the loading screen that previews the map. I'm hopeful someone might do something with this at some point.
I would like to see something done with this too, if theres one thing that annoys me about Shogun 2, its the extremely small battle maps, very cramped.
Edit: I think I might have found something of Use
In the terrain.pack file, goto tiles, select a map, and select a #x# (which I think means the dimensions or something) and goto definition.xml
there are two values:
base_terrain_width
and
base_terrain_height
I think these may have to do with the decided map sizes, since it seems to be bigger on higher #x#'s
I will try messing with these and see what results I get, however I have no idea which levels are which, so it will take a while to see what happens.
