What are your predictions about the max possible battle size in Bannerlord?

[Uesugi Kenshin]

As you may know bannerlord is currently hardcoded to 2048 agents on a map (1024 with cavalry since horses are separate from soldiers). Assuming the reasonably best machines are used what do you think the limit will be at the end of the life cycle? 3000? 5000? Maybe even 10000.

For reference I want to point out that on warband someone achieved a 5000 battlesize. That is not bad since even with enhanced graphics BL has higher default battlesize.

I don´t think it´s about the pc hardware but the engine itself. Even with a high end f2020 PC you can´t really run battles above ~1000 soldiers in Warband because the engine can´t handle it.

So it´s hard to say I guess, would believe something around 3000?!

I remember that in one of the devblogs they talked about how the game would scale with the number of cores, so in theory when the new processors with more cores arrive they could increase the number of bots. Although, also as you say it is limited by the engine to 2048
