vlad - It's most likely that the battles will be waged by multiple players (16-32), but have global, persistent ramifications. Chromehounds did that, and Huxley is as well - You have a global map of playable 'hot spot' maps. The victor(s) take control of that area, and attempt to move forward in taking more of the enemy factions.
That could easily involve thousands of people in one battle, that could take place across multiple maps.
Here's a good quote from Phantagram about their idea:
Reviving the medieval ages, thousands of gamers can co-join in war, choose their side, trade with each other, expand and cultivate their territory, then go out to the battlefield to match with other gamers in 1 vs. 1, 2 vs. 2, or 3 vs. 3 over possession or protection of territories.
See? One war, with thousands of gamers. But then go onto the battlefield to get possessions of territories.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
