OK, if the normal hero polycount is 600-1000, and normal units polycount 100-600 (if I'm not right, correct me...) what is the normal buildings polycount...

If I'm right (and there's a big chance that I'm not..) than the higher tier unit (building), the bigger polycount... Right...

So, what would be the normal polycount for Tier 1, Tier 2 or Tier 3 units or buildings....?

hmm at the max most building seem to be under 3000 polygons alltogether, so for each tier i would say maybe stay under 1500 polys.

the orc tier 3 stronghold is AFAIK the highest poly unit in the game when all of its meshes are shown (a little over 2k).

450 is the average end of a charecter, 600-700 for heros, i think the Tauren Chieften is the highest poly unit in the game with a little over 1000 (AFAIK again, i heard these numbers a long time ago and have yet to check myself.)

basically keep all units under 1K unless their some uber-hero/boss that'll only appear once.... i forget how many but a certain amount of polys just crashes the game no questions asked

P.S.-->chobo you're still working on corrupted?
