How many troops can your PC handle?

**ChaosLord** · 10-10-2004, 17:12

I have regular battles involving 4k+ and a few that have gone over 6k and everything but sieges run well for me. Of course, I am playing on the lowest settings. My comp stats are: P4 1.6ghz, 512mb PC2100 DDR Ram, GF2MX200. I play at 800x600 for battles as well, as you can see the GF2 is whats holding me back. Used to have a Ti4200 in this but the damn thing died on me. Still, i'm suprised at how well the game runs on this video card.

Have played a 3v3 with large units and it seemed to run just fine on 1024x768x32 with settings on medium.

you were there on that battle CBR, how did it run for you? I think your sytem is similiar to mine:

Athlon 2600+
512k ddr ram
128 Geforce 5600

only a mid range system (no 12 incher here!) but seemed up to the task

ToranagaSama,

"That's not how you check your system you shmoo!"

I always thought the "put your hand on it and does it feel hot" was the way. Oops. I'll try what you said. But this word "manual", I see the letters but know not of what you speak. Manual... I'll have to look that up.

I might have overstated the FPS hit with the flaming arrows. I'm not sure if it's me seeing the animation get a bit choppy or if the animation itself is a bit choppy. I'll play around and see if it improves.

I'm going to Try Bob the Insane's total max out. Should be fun.

Im very happy with my game! wouldnt have suspected this to work this well

I can have about 2900-3200 troops, on medium quality,I have troops on huge sizes... so on and so on
On my 200Mb ram
64mb Radeon 9000
and a 500mhz processor...

Fire really bogs my system down though...big time...

CrackedAxe:

That battle was laggy for me. I was on TeamSpeak2 with both Yuuki and Krypta and they had lag too. Even drawing a line was difficult as sometimes it didnt draw where you clicked first. I cant believe its TeamSpeak causing it but if we can get 6 people who has PC's like we had or better we can try and run some 3v3's and test.

From my experiance, Roger Wilco is a little better then teamspeak, causes no lag...

Ha! Had over 17,000 troops at 1024x768x32 (I refuse to play at 16-bit colour)with everything at low or off.

It... went... very... slowly.

I'd rather have the highest eye candy and less troops. 1600x1200x32 with everything maxed and about 3000 troops. Just beauty.
