Commander mode server performance

[DJPenguin]

I used to run a 20 player fire and sword server which ran the same type of gamemode as the upcoming commander one for NW. At most at any one time the server had 20 players and 220 bots on screen and it ran flawlessly if i recall. I'm not sure what the ratio is for player/bot, or if the code used for NW is better than F&S, so could someone with that knowledge give me a guesstimate on how many players in NW on that same server would be able to handle?

We have played with around 600 bots already, worked pretty fine. Though, I do not suggest that, since the server might start lagging.
I would suggest maximum 250-400 bots.

Pretty sweet, isn't it?

just 1 piece of info i need now.. how many bots are assigned per player? is it a fixed rate like F&S had 6 per? or is it a server side option/variable?

You can set the number to anything you want in the administrator panel.

Our record was running a server with up to 40 players, each having something between 10 and 30 bots, overall amount of bots being about 600.

That was fun. We had lines of troops from one edge of the map to the other firing volleys back and forth. Then we switched everyone to cav (600 cav!) and did a big charge. There was a little lag, but the server handled it.

We also did that a few other times during testing with a higher bot count and the server still didn't crash.

interesting. I'll start with 20 players w/ 20 bots per and see how it works from there. if I'm short on cash i guess i could just do something like 10 players, and 40 per.

Looking forward to seeing how Trenches v3 plays out with 800 bots

World war 1 I suppose.

Looks like someone needs a new keyboard.
