Am I the only one who thinks that the tactical combat maps are too small, and too random?

Lategame I see mounted riders take 1 turn to close into the fray on the other group, and that is too fast for my taste. Mostly because they don't even have charge, and some monsters with charge can move way too long compared to where the enemy is, making them have excess amount of movement, makes movement points very limited.

Another issue is the randomness, sometimes I spawn right in the face of my enemy, sometimes I am quite a distance away, I like random combat maps, but would like to see them have roughly the same  size, some of these maps are very small compared to some of the others, and 5 square distance is just too close.

Didn't bother to put in anything else here, just wanted to hear about this

Sincerely
