Where's extreme quality?

**Poacher886** · November 21, 2015, 07:32 PM

Guys, I've been playing Attila for some time now on my OC 290x@1440p

What i dont understand is the apparent 'extreme quality setting' for future cards business.....there is no extreme quality!!, the most i can set my settings to is 'Max quality'!

Where is this ultra setting?

Thanks.

Extreme settings are referring to the highest graphics options - so just max everything and thats it basically it (or use slider to move to extreme - before u click custom/manual graphical settings). Mind that even gtx 980 can't hold constant 60fps on these settings.

Talk about first world problems, most of us struggle to run a smooth 30fps on a 4000 man battle on medium graphics

Lol, im actually running 40 unit army's with 240 men per unit. It has to be said even with all quality settings @ Max Q it gets choppy with 10kv10k army's..especially in settlements.

It was'nt so much that i wanted to use the 'extreme Q' settings it was the concern that i could not select them.....next year the 16nm caeds come in, and they SHOULD handle no probs.

I don't know too much about computers, but I know that this game isn't really able to support 40 vs. 40 battles easily. I have a fairly good computer that can run basically everything modern at around 60 fps maxed out, but no matter what setting I put it at for 40 vs. 40 battles, the game just struggles to run.

Odd im running 40x40 battles at above 30fps with a i5-760@4.35 and OC 290x all at 1440p with most settings maxed out! this is with 240men units!!

It can get a bit choppy at times during seige battles, but still very playable and soon smooths out as units deplete.

I don't have any trouble running 2v2 in mp or sp battles either (medium settings) and my comp is much much worse than that of Poacher886. I do get drops to 20fps if i zoom in completely but i almost never do that since i never really enjoyed watching close 1v1 fights in TW games. Nevertheless there are good computer builds that really struggle with it, and it proves that Attila wasn't optimized very well.
