REDUCE LAGS ON MULTIPLAYER UNLIMITED POPULATION

[Scrotus98]

hello guys, I'm new in this forum and i was very happy to enter this very active comunity .. I was amazed by what was created and I have to say that the game (which i recommended to several of my friends) is taking a lot .
We were looking for a way to play with unlimited population since each of us has performing CPUs but unfortunately there are continuous lag when the population exceeds thousands of units. Reading the various topics, I read that the problem of lags is given by POPULATION TOO HIGH, MAPS TOO LARGE, RENDERING OF TREES ..
So I was wondering if it was enough to turn the effects down in Options -> Grafics (including termal throttling) to remedy the problem.
Thanks in advance for your reply, you are great!

Hello and Welcome.

The lags problems comme from the pathfinding of each units, so it is not realy a grafic problem.

If you and your friend handel only troops in formation, it can reduce the probleme.

feel happy, i can not play with more than 300 pop on the map

Thank you dude, very kind.

So if my troops are in one of the formation that 0 AD suggests me, I can play with less lags??

yes exactly… because their patfinding is similar and the core need to find only one path for the wohl group (max 200 units/group) instead of finding 200 paths.

and you may notice that units that are not moving, dont afects the fps.
