LOL....

Just tried a maxed out peasant 6 way custom battle... approx 14500 troops on screen on the Gaul Grasslands map, no settlement, no weather effects, but still maxed out on the gfx setting as I use in the game... Serious slide show territory...

On my AthlonXP 2600+ with 1GB RAM, Geforce 6800 GT and Audiology 2 ZS...

Using Nvidia 66.31 drivers, plus upto date drivers for everything else.. No o/c on anything...

Will try to find a max number...
