There is the Mini Map


Here is part of the map file.
#description "(JOIN AS MIDDLE AGE, MAN and ULM) A mini map to use as a Battle Simulator.
2 starting provinces for land players. 2 starting provinces for water players. And 2 provinces to meet in.
Suitable for 2 players. "

------------------------
-- land starts --
-- start nation 30 (Man) in province 2
#specstart 30 2
-- set target province to 2 and add a commander
#setland 2
#commander 54
#additem "Ring of the Warrior"
-- add units to that commander
#bodyguards 2 65
#units 10 57
#units 30 62
#units 38 59

-- start nation 31 (Ulm) in province 3
#specstart 31 3
-- set target province to 3 and add a commander
#setland 3
#commander 114
#additem "Ring of the Warrior"
-- add units to that commander
#bodyguards 2 76
#units 10 69
#units 30 79
#units 38 417

You can start the game with Man and Ulm, set formations and scripting, then have the two test armies attack the same province to see the battle. Start a new game on the same map to try again or edit the .map file to try something else.

You can edit the map file in notepad to use any units in the game, any equipment, any experience levels, any summons. Unfortunately, the map command to set a starting spell is broken so you cannot make a spell usable from turn 1.
