1400 Soldiers 50fps

This update was originally planned to be merged with upcoming patches. However, due to dramatic improvements in optimization and combat AI, it has been released immediately.

⚙️ Optimization

⚔️ Combat Performance

• Recommended battle size: 1400 (Ryzen 9800X3D)

• GPU load reduced by ~60%

• CPU load reduced by ~40%

• The optimization freed significantly more GPU headroom than expected:

  • Default resolution increased

  • Dynamic Resolution option added

• Remaining optimization margin:

  • CPU: ~8%

  • GPU: ~12%

• RAM usage optimization has not started yet

🗺️ World Map Performance

• World map performance doubled

• This improvement is a direct result of reduced GPU usage

⚔️ Combat System Changes

🚶 Movement System

• Complete rewrite of character and mount movement code

• Both humans and horses now react to terrain:

  • AdjustedUphillreduced max speed and acceleration
  • AdjustedDownhillincreased max speed

• Horses are now:

  • Fully controllable

  • Slower to accelerate

• Soldier movement speed calculations are now more precise

• Even slow soldiers can climb slopes using consistent acceleration

• When blocked by small obstacles:

  • Soldiers accumulate force

  • Then overcome them with a stronger push

• ⚠️ Backstep speed reduction is temporarily disabled

🤖 Combat Logic & AI

• Soldier attack prediction error reduced:

  • 0.23s → 0s

  • Attacks are now queued the moment an enemy is predicted to enter range

• Shock infantry damage calculation redesigned

• AI formations now advance toward:

  • The center of the enemy’s front line

• When calculating torso rotation to face enemies:

  • The Zeno’s paradox issue is resolved in the 120cm–10cm distance aim

🛠️ Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where all soldiers believed their weapon length was exactly 80cm

  • Not sure this bug may have existed in previous versions

⚠️ Known Issues

• These issues occurred because the update was released during ongoing character base revisions

• As a result:

  • Some bones may appear bent

  • Certain outfits may not properly match the character body

• In some cases:

  • Attacks may be executed in a different direction than the prepared animation

🔜 What’s Next

• Implementation of a centralized sound system

• This update may be deployed without a separate announcement
