Sooooo is it worth comming back trying out the singelplayer out again

[Midnitewolf]

What I propose instead is: let's divide the arm hurtbox into 3 parts:
arm, elbow, forearm.

This sounds easy adding more hitboxes isn't actually the answer.

For example you say each unit has 6 hit boxes currently. That means in a 1000 man battle the CPU has to calculate 6000 different hit boxes. Now lets say we go with something like your suggesting. You would probably have 2 hitboxes for the head, 3 for each arm and leg and maybe 6 hitboxes for the torso front and back. Now all of a sudden in a 1000 man battle you have the CPU calculating hits for 20 hitboxes per unit or 20,000 hitboxes for the entire 1000 units. That is more than 3x the amount of hitboxes the CPU has to currently keep track of and the game is already one of the most CPU intensive games out on the market right now. The question then becomes, what do you want to give up in order to add 3x the hit boxes?

I guess we could dial back the battle size to a max of 300 units for a top gaming rig with a top end CPU leaving lower end gaming rigs maybe with 100 max units on the battlefield at a time, however, I strongly doubt many people would think giving up 2/3rds of their current max army size as being worth having a more accurate armor damage model.

This is why you have to look for simple solutions to try to correct the problem. For example, adding to armor values, lowering weapon damage or changing some of the multipliers on the other hand cost no additional CPU processing power and while not the most perfect solution might actually provide results that feel much better if still imperfect.

Abdication? Clan party directives? Where are you seeing these planned updates?

On the plans for single player thread. Also if you just remember the names of the community managers and then look at their latest comments.

I understand what you are saying but you have to keep in mind that when an attack hits it activates only 1 hurtbox.
So even if you have 30 hurtboxes per character, the CPU will only register 1 hurtbox hit.

Even if there were a forest of arrows, as already happens in the game, the single arrow hits the single hurtbox, so the number of registrations that the CPU has to make does not vary with the number of hurtboxes but with the number of soldiers, as already happens in the game.
In summary: nothing changes .

sooooooo I havent played the singelplayer for about 4 montsh id say and has there been any major improvments or should i just keep waiting a bit cause i want to have a good campaign not just stuff being broken ?

Just spent 2 hours on youtube to figure the same thing out.
I will be back around christmas.

 

[panicFire]

Yes. If on world map there's a crossing or a bridge, you can make a chokehold ambush.

yeah about that, when you place any group on bridge they leave a one man space either to left or right, so cant really hold the bridge
