    Welcome to the forum

    hmmm it depends on the graphic settings too... if you set it on lowest u can easily field thousands of men, but with higher settings things may become problematic...
    why don't you just try out instead of making this bit useless thread?

    ooohhhh pardon my insolence! How stupid of me I didn't knew u don't have the game yet! Well i'm not a pc fanatic but I guess it should work reasonably with about 1000 soldiers on your side (and 1000 on the other)

    I usually just take the Grass completely off and put Trees on low and the game runs like magic.

    On Empire Total war i do the same and i get terrific results.

    i have a system pretty much like yours and i played with huge unit size and all unit graphics on high a battle with like 2500 men without problems (2500 total)
    if i tune them down a bit i can handle 6000 with no problem

    6,000,,,you mean your own army in one battle?

    he means 6000 total, so depending on who you are facing, say your attacking a one unit army with a full stack (or multiple) then you could field around 5940 and they would field 61. Or is stack vs stack then 3000 vs 3000.

    where should i base the total amount of units that a PC can handle??? CPU power of graphics card??

    most likely graphic cards. higher settings really drain energy...

    Graphics card, and as much RAM as you can get, so as to run epic battles.

    Turn the grass settings to Low or None. The gras drains a *** lot of memory, you know
    You just wasted 4 seconds of your life reading this sentence. You'll read it again because it was so funny and waste another 4. And since you read that sentence, some more disappeared, count this sentence and it's 'nother couple. Good job time waster!

    I would suggest getting one more Gig of Ram and you will be fine.

    get a 8800gt and youll thump m2tw. Getting 2gb of ram instead would be a good idea too.
