Hi,here is my matter
I live in Europe so i only get the demo at the moment
I preordered the game but i'm curious to know if the game runs smoothly on my machine
Is there any way to run a performance test with the demo by doing some changes in XML or Lua
Thanks
 
What do you mean by performance test? If you just start the demo and monitor your system (cpu/memory) usage, maybe graphics if you got a tool for it, generally the task manager is sufficient for a rough overview.
 
100 hundred turns, on a small map, with few units is not enough to see if the games runs fine
So i 'd like to overload the map with plenty of unit and maybe set a huge map size to see if it's not too slow between turns (in that case i should change my CPU,i think)
 
Hmm I dont think you can do anything to do that, most changes to the demo files made it crash :(.
But as a general idea I still think the demo can tell you a lot, for me it terrified me with the CPU usage, which went up to 70% (on a 2.4GHz Quadcore!) while scrolling when zoomed far out over explored terrain.
