If I choose the option to battle with 600 AI soldiers are there 600 soldiers on the battlefield at once?

Because when I look at the map and I count my teammates I barely hit 100...
Any info on this would be HIGHLY appreciated.

yes, 600 AI on the whole map. The map is huge, don't forget.

Then what are the numbers on the map? Cause they only show +-100 players.

600 soldiers total means 300 vs 300, and you can't see where the enemy soldiers are located. You could start an online game and join in on another PC on the other faction and calculate them all. Calculating the soldiers using the map can also be a bit difficult as the numbers get mixed up with base names and may become hard to read.

Also note that at the beginning of a game 80% of all soldiers are created.

After that they start killing each other and dying and spawning frequently so it might very well be that you won't hit absolute 300+300 at any point. If you did, the AI spawning would cease.

Anyway, don't play with the 600 setting, the game is just awful with that and might never cover that case in a way that makes sense, I really should put a mention about it in the menu 100-150 is well enough for the maps with few bases (map2, map3), map1 is good with twice that max. The AI doesn't have much organizing logic on team level, so with too many teams they just crowd the place and go back and forth and jump on and off things.

Thanks for answering the question.

But I LOVE the 600 players option, that's why I bought the game tbh. Please don't remove it though. :'(

Then you would LOVE the 1000 option even more

Meh, I'd say 10.000 No, I'm kidding but 1000 would be cool indeed. Clusterfuck dat ass.

Haha, I won't remove it, I promise

I can't say if I will make the AI strategy planning scale much better for those huge counts though. On a second thought, I'm not sure if that's even what you'd want to see as you already apparently like it the way it is

Strategy is also very fun in large scale battles. Strategy + epicness = epicness 2x

yea pasik! you promised me that you would add back the 1000 soldier battles! what happened to that?
