Some of them actually are. But then again, some players, myself 
included, are also Elves, and I'm not particularly smaller than, say, 
an Ogre... Well, 90 vs 300, I guess, but still, my 90... uh... cubic 
units are enough to keep other players out. Yet somehow I can get an 
army of many of Elves in a space that could only hold me if I were 
there. For that matter, I can get an army of Ogres in said space. That 
doesn't seem right, somehow.
