Board Thread:Suggestions forum/@comment-29680750-20170723162417

I suggested this on a thread as a comment but believe it holds promise.

I am sure all of you will have had the problems ascosciated with a huge swarm of butterfly's or horde of orcs.

I suggest here a no. of mob caps to reduce lag:

FactionM- Mx n of military units for that faction. FactionC- Mx n of civilian mobs for that faction. Hostile- Self explanatory. Background- Such as butterflies. Peaceful- Farm animals etc Overall- Why not!

This would allow for lore/balance in contested regions as well as reducing lag. When trying to spawn in an entity, the game will then check the no.s of the categories it appears in. If it is full or over it will not appear. If it is empty it will almost certainly spawn. Inbetween, the chances will increase/decrease depending.
