XZminX	Hi! I was wondering what is the optimum number of polygons? What does a high number of polygons mean adn what does it do to model(except the quality)?

as long as you dont go crazy with detail, youll be fine... the wc3 engine was made years ago and our graphics cards have improved to the point where the num. of polies doesnt seem to affect it too much

Armel	I'd say 600 polys is reasonable, depending on what you're doing and the number of times the model will be present on the map.

flamesforzuljin	i think pheonix posted something about this... it went something like this: peasant: 200 tier 1: 300 tier 2: 400 tier 3: 500 siege: 700 heroes: 1000 lower tier buildings (tower/farm/town hall level 1): 700 unit producing buildings (rax/temples/dens/town hall level 2): 800 town hall level 3: 900 did i leave anything out?
