I can quite easily get to 1000 men even though my PC is optimised for 2009. I do most of my tests with 500 vs 500 battles, and as long as there's not too much cavalry and the melee brawl isn't too chaotic, there's a little bit of stuttering but it's not excessive. But even at those sizes, even the shoulder-mounted "artillery" makes the player behave in a way that tends to ignore tactics completely. It was one of my biggest gripes with TOTSK, even though I modded in larger battlefields.
Huh. Maybe I need to do more testing with my desktop as I put that thing together in 2011.
