First off let me say that I am extremely grateful for everything the Brytenwalda team has done to make this amazing mod. I can't really express how awesome this mod really is and how lucky we all are to have such a great mod covering such a fascinating and alluring period of history. I can't wait for 1.39!
While waiting for 1.39 to come out I've started playing the SVN version of 1257AD. I think that 1257 and Brytenwalda are very comparable graphics-wise. Both mods have rich item textures, lush environmental graphics, and a staggering array of items/soldier types. However, despite the graphics being so close to each other, I am able to play 1257AD without any of the performance problems I encounter with Brytenwalda.
For instance (at near highest graphics settings), in Brytenwalda it takes a few minutes for a battle to load and there is considerable lag when playing with battle sizer at 120. 1257 however, loads up battles almost instantly and there is no lag. In Brytenwalda, when a reinforcement wave enters the battle my game usually freezes for like 10 seconds before returning to normal. In 1257 I don't encounter any delay whatsoever when reinforcements appear. I could give more examples but I think everyone gets the point.
I am curious why, considering that both mods are very graphic-intense, why 1257 is so much faster? I don't really know what could cause such a great difference in performance when both mods appear to be so similar in their graphic quality. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing such a drastic difference?
I'm curious to know if Brytenwalda could be privately edited to make it faster? Maybe there's some difference in how the textures are formatted or something? I have no idea really but if that's possible any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!! Can't wait for 1.39!
