Wow...what are your specs?

My comp lags on medium to med-high when there are more than 8000 troops fighting.

Fought a battle as the Epeirotes vs. the Romani, with me besieging Roma.

If I remember correctly, it was about a 12,500 man battle. Approximately 5,500 for me and the rest to the Romans. I lost. Badly. Something of a "pyrrhic victory" though for the Romans. This was a camillan Roman army too.

Hello!
I'm new here, but would like to share my biggest battle(s)

the largest battle I had wasn't too big: ~800 seleukids vs ~2500 romani (unit scall normal- plus I usually remeber/ record the deaths more) ended 15 min. later in a heroic victory with almost all the romani dead (96%),with the faction leader and faction hier of the romsni dead, while I lost (still remember vividly- not lying) an unbelievably low 17 dead and three dozen wounded (too bad the pics were lost for evidence- least the written records are here), but it was fought near Taras, c.200BC. The trick was that it was basically a giant ambush that hit the romans in the rear, and left, between a hill and the coast

. commander:Ho basileus seleukeias (king of the seleukids)., I played the battle on the very day EB full version was released, and was the last pre-EB1 battle fought.

breakdown:

1-Basileus ( chev. gold)
2-2 units of hellenikoi kataphractoi (all understrength, with 2-3 silver chev.)
3-7 pezhetaroi and argyraspides (argyraspides at 1/2 stregth, rest 40-55men per unit, between 3 bronze and 1 gold, average at two silver)
4-2 toxotai ( 3 bronze chevrons)
5-2 peltastai (ditto)
6-1 prodromoi (1 silver)

WOAH!! That must be amazing to play with so many men. You are very, very lucky people. I can't play with more than 7,000 unless I want an intolerable lag, and that's with all unit settings turned down to the lowest.

Anyone know how I could play bigger battles? More RAM maybe? Can you buy RAM for a laptop?

how much is you virtual memory? my laptop used to lag till I doubled it to 1GB-give that a crack.

**TWFanatic** · 01-23-2008, 20:22

It's always giving me this message that it doesn't have enough virtual memory. So I assume I don't have enough. How much does it cost to upgrade?

Thanks for the tip!
