Kingoms and Mods problems

[CobraStallone]

Hello, I have somewhat of a strange problem, I am able to fight battles perfectly in Vanilla with high settings and large unit scales. However if I play Kingdoms or Stainless Steel my battles take forever to load and are played slowly and lagging. I've tried patching, playing without patches and reinstalling it a bunch of times. Any idea on what may be causing this? Thanks.

Kingdoms is more resource hungry than Medieval2. I proved that on my last system. Stainless Steel being based on Kingdoms is the same way.

Try running Game Booster from www.iobit.com to see if it makes a difference. The bwst part is it's free.

well yes


but mods is quite easy to understand, the user made models (like King Kong's or BC's) are more high poly, meaning there's more vertexs and such in the models, thus making causing lag

According CA's official line, they are supposed to be the same. The computer that I had when Kingdoms was released was just enough underpowered it knew the difference between medieval2.exe and kingdoms.exe immediately. You could tell the slowdown. Don't belive all the PR hype.
