    Default Unlimited men on battlefield yes or no?

    I read somewhere that turning on unlimited men on battlefield will cause the mod to run unstable. Is this true, or can some of you play with unlimited men without problems?

    Depends on how powerful your computer is I think, also possibly there is larger chance for a CTD or hang during battle but again I think CPU/memory is the bottleneck, not GPU as when you zoom out its mostly sprites anyway.

    Just the number of calculations the computer has to do increases with number of men.

    I have a quad-core running at 3Ghz (and a GTX280) and still have slowdowns in framerate when lots of men are on screen at the same time...

    The Danes, I swear, with their half arsed attempts at a 'war'. You gotta give it to 'em, they just dont stop trying. Listen, I've fought the Timurids, ever heard of them? Elephants with cannons on their backs. Yea, Timurids. You guys are like kids on tricycles compared to them. -REZ

    Never heard of any problems with anyone using 'unlimited_men_on_battlefield = 1'.

    When there are too many soldiers in the battle my computer slows down, this is how computers work.

    There is no stability issue to be concerned with, just performance.
