Reducing Drag on Video Cards

Hi All,

I develop a map that frequently deals with hundreds of units. Anyone have ideas or tricks to reduce the drag that units or special effects have on users' computers?

Use low-poly models
Don't use aura's / area of effect spells

Those are IMO the most important things you have to worry about

reduce the number of units

If those are hundreds of units with pathing, it's quite possibly CPU-related. The pathing algorithm goes really expensive.
