I have a question regarding hardware: I used CoM Warlord on my MacBook Pro 14 M2Pro under Windows 11 Parallels (ARM emulation). Although the virtual HD is extremely fast and everything else just runs very smoothly, I get disappointing results with CoMWindowsWarlord, though not the unmoved version: Extreme drop in fps (one figure), which do not occur on an inferior windows machine (even though it is using a hdd, not a very fast ssd). Any ideas whether it is related to the x86-emulation under Windows for ARM?

Any ideas whether it is related to the x86-emulation under Windows for ARM? CoM2 run on single core, so faster more modern machine with multiple cores does not make it faster, it is better with fast single core instead. Also, this mod involve a lot of unit recalculation which is bottleneck of game calculation. And due to how many units in game, they are the biggest hindrance in game speed. Seravy fix it by made most of his part assembly code that make it faster but uneditable, so any additional code on this would make game slower.
Warlord and Warlord Lite are great.
However, two potential wrinkles: The first is not confirmed, but: Hierophany never seems to work against anyone. The second is confirmed: Aether Binding costs 620 SP and still has the same effects. At that cost, it is rather useless in the current tier.

Playing a massive map with 13 opponents on master difficulty and this is the most challenging game of MoM I've ever had... no more having a few stacks of doom dominating the map but having to make actual sacrifices when taking on enemy wizards - it's fantastic! The only issue I'm facing is each turn is taking 2-3 minutes which is somewhat expected due to the size of the game... is there any way to possibly speed this up? I've turned off see enemy moves but it didn't seem to help much - maybe some trick someone knows.
Thanks for creating this mod! |
