      This game calculates a majority of things on the GPU. Even things like AI. GPUs are really fast at simple calculations. And since the AI are pretty simple you can get really high numbers. It also makes eeextensive use of instanced rendering. Where many of the same models are rendered as one to save performance.
      It's all stuff that's been possible for years but not done by anyone.

    Man, I just wish Dan did one battle where he didn't interfere with it all. Especially one like the tanks v orcs. The thing about having ranged units fight melee units is that the ranged units are going to have an advantage in the beginning, when they're able to combine all their firepower, but as soon as they start taking losses, their ability to output damage is gonna start to go down, and go down quickly. The kills the melee units are gonna get is gonna increase exponentially. It's actually pretty interesting from a game theory aspect

    A part of me really wants to know whether the Tesla&Cleopatra vs. 40000 Chicken fight was winnable if you take control of the AI and choose to hold the choke points at the pyramids. Maybe split it so there's 50 of each at each entrance, Tesla in the front line and Cleo at range, or put each group at a different gate and see if one line breaks before the other.

    In my opinion this game gets old very quickly. The reason I _love_ it is because it is a proof of concept for the unused potential of the GPU. The trick to running this obscene number of AIs at once is to not run the AI logic on the CPU, which even on the high end only had a dozen or so cores, but on the GPU which even at the low end will have thousands of cores. If more devs could think outside the box like this, who knows where gaming could go.
