quick question : maximum number of size x battle troops
 

just curious :
iirc there was a thread some time ago were norfleet said that if you take more than 6000 size 1 units , 3000 size 2 units etc. to a battle the game gets corrupted and you can't continue .

so far i remember furthermore this answer from norfleet was the Last answer in that thread and neither confirmed nor declined .

so is that true ?

because i want to start a new sp game now on faerun where i plan to play ryleh . i think i will try a lategame 3000-4000 devil army there then or something similiar .

this would definitely be more then the 6000 size 1 units maximum norfleet mentioned .

i would be really pissed if this would happen to my game then . so plz say if that is correct and state the maximum number of troops in size i may take to battle .

IIRC, the battlefield grid is about 58x28. This would suggest that Bad Things Happen if more units attend than can fit. There are rumors that the battlefield may "stretch", if such a thing occurs, but given that the unit positioning box isn't stretchy in such a manner, I'm not sure how that would work....and there's still a point at which this would break down gruesomely.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">hm you can zoom out when watching battle replays quite far .
my biggest fun battle so far were 1500 vampires + 500 demon knights + some sc's .
this was in a fungame with a good friend who has dominions 2 too but unfortunately doesn't feel good enough already to start a game offered here on the Boards too .
he had about 2000 units against that too .
there the 50 turn limit was evil http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

i think this was pretty close already but nothing bad happened there http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

The battlegrid expands to accomodate larger armies. How much and what limit I don't know.

Actually I ran into this problem playing Ermor in SP a while ago, but it was not under 2.12 and I was told by Illwinter that a future patch (probably 2.10 or somthing) would fix it. This was a while ago. But havent tested since.
