Ermor - Massed

I just closed Dominions2, it was generating a turn. I don't know why, but everytime I exeed 10,000 units it seems to not generate turns. Previously the game also wouldn't start, and I had to reinstall several times before it started working again, not to mention wipe out all my Dom2 files. I would like to know if anyone knows about a unit-limmit? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/confused.gif

Bump.

I've not seen it. Someone mentioned a theoretical 32000 limit to units in the whole game, but that seems a bit low to me.

This number starts to fall dramatically if you're using, say, a mix of longdeads, soulless, ghouls, and longdead horse.

Now you have to divide this result in half to get the number that can fit for ONE side. Naturally, I strongly suspect that if more than about 2000 units are brought to a single battle, Bad Things Happen.

So I guess sending an army around 6000 large was a bad idea. (Mostly longdead velites etc, and around 1000 longdead horsemen)

Is that what caused it to die gruesomely?
