the other comment already pointed out some maps that are as large as TAs larges maps where, but it does go even bigger in ZK. you can just filter for "big" on the map browser to find more of that size [1]
the biggest issue you'll have is finding people with similar skill level to yours, as its pretty much the same design TA was back then. RTS nowadays is much more balanced so that strength of a unit correlates with its cost. this is not the case in ZK at all, as you can destroy the most expensive units in the game with just a few of the very cheapest, so trading 10_000 for 200 metal happens if you get outplayed.
its especially hard to learn the nuances in this game if you play on large maps, because it quickly becomes an economic race, and these are so much harder for people that have little experience.
/edit: disclaimer: i haven't played the game since it was released on steam, so maybe there are more newcomers now.
on a sidenote: I find it really sad that the gesture menu for buildings like you could enable in ZK hasn't really caught up. it was such a massive improvement in usability/gameplay for this genre.
