-- Preview of Dwarves --

[Saruman the white wizard]

I just played a battle on huge unit scale: 20 units of peasants vs 20 units of peasants. 8000 men onscreen.

It lagged.

My comp can handle such an amount

[Pvt. Parts]

I put it on 6x speed. Slideshow, and I'm not exaggerating. Seriously.

[Phunkracy]

My comp can handle such an amount

Huh, I played recently a custom battle with 12000 soldiers on maxed settings and, until I changed speed, it was good.

I can't wait to play Mordor

[Muffer Nl]

I can go up to 6000 peoples.

[Pvt. Parts]

Mine can do 4800... on minimum settings.

[Muffer Nl]

I can go up to 6000 peoples.

That would be on high. But I guess I'll play the mod on small unit sizes. After all I don't wan't to lag against evil.

[Landkreuzer ratte]

my Personal Computer can only go up to 6000 men so it's still playable on max settings ofcourse.

With the specs at the bottom (I have a Samsung Desktop) I can play Huge unit scale with max of 8000 soldiers at medium-high settings at 38 fps

Could you tell me your system specs?

Could you tell me your system specs?

GF8800GTX 768MB, 2 GB RAM, Intel Core 2 Quad (smthing similiar to yours, don't know the exact stats). Slightly overclocked etc.
Resolution: 1680x1024 (If i remember correctly). Musket smoke (XVIIth century mod, so 2/3 army consisted of musketeers).
22-25 fps.


Planning to buy one more GTX.

[STELLover]

Nice, I was hoping to get a new Falcon Northwest...

[Pvt. Parts]

A question: what sort of siege equipment will Dwarves get that other factions won't?

[alexej]

The dwarven crossbowmen have good attack stats and AP. They will also get a special anti-troop ballista.

2 Pvt. Parts : see? that ballista will fill the warhammer organ gun role i hope multiple barrels cannon

[Pvt. Parts]

Cool. But what about catapaults and stuff?

[Mithrandir]

Catapults are available to most (if not all) factions.

[Pvt. Parts]

But... how will Dwarves versions be better? Because they have to be. They just do.

Longer range? Higher accuracy? More hitpoints? How?

[Mithrandir]

Agree, Dwarves should have a more powerful catapult or trebuchet, but it hasn't been confirmed.

[Pvt. Parts]

Maybe the BFME (shudder) idea of two rocks flung simultaneously?

[Mithrandir]

That would require a new model and animation. How about simply powering up the trebuchet for the dwarven faction?

[Pvt. Parts]

Ok... fine...

[STELLover]

Will you give new skins to the dwarven faction trebuchet though? Sort of like late Medieval ebony type reskin
