Terrain Detail

This is a question for the group. What level of terrain detail do you normally play with? As a new player, playing on Normal, I would play at the lowest level so I could see everything. But as I've become more experienced I've realized you can't see the benefits of the differing terrain, both offensively and defensively, plus it's a more pleasing experience. It's kind of a bleak landscape without the trees, boulders, and fences. Just curious.

Thanks

Hi.

I use full Details myself. The only thing I change as far as the terrain is the transparency of the trees. I usually have this between the values of 200-300. You are absolutely right, having the full graphics is the way to go, and much more pleasing to the eye.

Later.

Full detail. I need the visual realism as much as possible.

I smell a consensus here. Full detail it is...

We want more detail!!! If you could have more visual detail, what would it be?

My vanquished enemies begging for mercy. Beautiful women feeding me grapes after a victory. Sorry. It's late... :evil:

i wondered this myself - i use the highest setting

a) because i like the look of it

b) fences provide protection!

i know there is the new map pack soon to be released, and i will buy it, but what i would like most of all, is a performance increase. id pay for that!
