Graphic settings "unit size" and balancing?

[Mecharion]

Hey guys,

i heard somewhere (i think it was in the ttw2 forum 1-2 years ago) that the TTW games are "balanced" for and around the unit size "large". I dont know if this is true or not..

Does someone have infos about that? In terms of graphic options i would chose large over ultra then when its true that they are balancing the game based on this unit size.

Feel free to comment if you know something in that matter :)

Yea WH is balanced around large but it won't make much difference if you play on ultra but a rare few unit's

explains alot, i thought they scaled, apparently not. i found some units weaker in ultra than medium/large especially heros, or atleast in my case monsters and heros. just didnt pack as much impact as in medium or large.

Was in the previous, probably will be in this.

Yea the game is mainly made for large it's the moat balance and it's the most played not everyone can play ultra because it's a real big hit on performance wile large runs much better

Ok - so large it is :o)

TTW3 can come now :D

nividia says SMALL with my 1660 super is optimized unit size lol

Odd thing is everything ive read indicates that WH3 is now balanced around Ultra unit sizes, or at least thats what ive seen mentioned in most YT comment chains that bring up that question.

Either it is, in which case... not sure why the change. Or there is one hell of a persistant and incorrect assertion going around (No idea who started it).

What CPU?

Warhammer three has new scaling adjustments for things like spells and single entity monsters so that they adjust their output for whatever unit size you choose.

Don't care about balancing as much but I played WH2 on Ultra just for those sweet sweet round number unit models.

WH3 is balanced around Ultra unit size, not large. Multiplayer is played on Ultra by default.

I'll be doing ultra with my GTX 1650 you can't stop me.

I dont know if this is true.

I'm pretty sure all damage has been scaled to be independent of unit size but I cannot find a source one way or the other.

If anyone knows for sure with source I would appreciate it

I have a gtx 1650 too! And an i5-9300H with 16 GB RAM. Pretty sure I can get 50-60fps on medium.
