How Many Units Can YOUR Computer Handle?

[xXx-Tricky-xXx]

Using high settings, using custom battle how many people can you have before the pc tells you you cant have anymore without it being laggy.

Mine wont let me have over 6400 anything more i add turns into red. I thought I would atleast get 8000 oh well.

What can you manage to get without it turning red?

[Kanfoosh]

My pc can handle around 10,000 even though i get the warning around 6000...

I have not got a graphics card as it's interated for now so I can't play RTW mods... I get the message at 3000... and all the time I have had rome I have never seen a horseman, elephant or chariot.... Comedy thread

i get a msg at 2400 but can go to around 3500

[westy159]

Message comes at around 6400. Is it determined by the memory on your graphics card? (I.E. 128mb Geforce 6800) The 'geforce 6800' not being accounted for as I have only had two cards. A 128mb Radeon 9700 pro and a 128mb geforce 6800. While the 6800 has the same amount of memory it is considerably better than the 9700 but on both cards i got the message at 6400 men.

i got a 256 tho and i only get around 2400 before i get a msg, i thought it was based on processor speed

I get a message at around 6400 for Vanilla RTW, but for mods it might be lower, depends. I can definatley play at 10,000 though in vanilla with slight lag.

Peace,

I have 2gb of OCZ ram, dual core 3800+ cpu, and an evga nvidia geforce 7900GTCO 256mb. I set the settings to high and low and it still has the same unit count. I can run about 10,000 with slight or no lag too. It must be cpu, because my video card is insane, and most games dont use dual core yet so that must be why.

It says that i cant go above 6345ish, but with vannila skins and the settings on medium, I can go higher, much higher without any lag, try another thousand before the FPS starts to drop. This is probably due to my overclock, as before the game would go jerky at just above 6000 soldiers. Remember, a good CPU is the key to getting lots of men on the field.

I have two differnt PC's that I can play RTW/BI on and both PC's give me the message at 6400 men, but in reality I can go much higher on my newer PC (about 10,000 men without lag).
1. Old PC = AMD 3800+, 2 GB RAM, ATI X800 XTX video card.
2. New PC = AMD FX-60, 2 GB RAM, dual ATI Crossfire 1900 XTX video cards.

[Crusader Invasion]

Mine turns red at 2400 but It can handle maybe 5000 without lag (if it's a day battle not a night battle). I think I am going to get a new computer soon though.

[JP226]

mine turns red at 6000 but i've gone up to 8000

[Siegebreaker]

How can I make my units larger?
Can't find how to do it in options.
My roman units are at 40.

[The Lacedaemonian]

go to unit scale. if you change it to large normal units are 80. huge is 166.


i get a warning at 4800 men. though the game is still stable if i go over.

Intel Graphics 96 MB 1GB RAM

[Vanquisher]

Mine goes red at 6485, but I've had over 12,000 with ease! (maybe a bit of lag, but if everything is on medium, no laga at all.)
I can play a 6000 unit battle with full specs OK on vannila with about 30-40 fps.

[shizzernockers3]

mine goes red at 6000 with most of the video settings on high but i have played with two full selucid armys with units that have 240 in each selucid infantry unit and its just a little slow

[jaklei]

i just tried an 8000 battle with 4 factions with Barebones wars, i had an fps of 14 average in the start but after 15 min i got up to 25-40 fps wich is quite ok with such an heavy skin mod on!

[Titus]

I can do a little over 6,000 in high settings!

[Red_orbiT]

3! No! 4! That's it! 4!!!

Thanks.
