With a range of 256 tiles, each one can hit over 200k tiles so probably once you upgrade them you have 100 units checking 200k tiles every game tick. I can see why it's running a little slow

It feels more like integer overflow. It seems strange to have range attribute, where you have decimal point, stored in TINY INT data type, but it makes total sense why the value never overcomes number 256. I dont know, it's strange and I am confused.

@MrXBT2000

@@pistaaa_ I guess it is stored as a form of fixed point decimal using an unsigned integer type, with 8 bit before the decimal point. For instance the length unit for calculations might be 1/256 tile (like when we metric folks measure in centimeters). Using a 16-bit unsigned int then results in 256 tiles (~255+255/256) as the maximum. Clearly there is some form of overflow handling in there, as the number is capped rather than starting over from 0 like an odometer. 16-bit might seem like a small datatype, but it would more than suffice for any reasonable unit range.

@@wigbertparada9758 think of an odometer in a car, the device that keep track of and displays how many km/miles the car has driven. It has a fixed number of digits it can display. Now imagine one with four digits that measure in centimeters instead, for instance 1234 cm. If you want to change the value to meters you just put a decimal point in the middle and get 12.34 m. That would correspond to what is referred to as a fixed point data type in computers. It is basically a whole number where we just say that we put the decimal point in front of the two rightmost digits. Since we only have four digits available, the largest number we can store is 99.99 m rounded to 100 m. Internally the computer use the binary number system to represent numbers where bits act as digits. With 8 bits the computer can represent all numbers from 0 to 255. Add 8 more bits to the right of the decimal point and it can represent numbers from 0 to 255+255/256. Rounding that highest number for displaying as decimal we get 256.

Little theory : if when you broke the game the range was 256, that is exactly 2 to the power of 8 , so probably an overflow problem. With 7 you were at 37.7, so 8 would be 65.4 and 9 would be 130.8. 10 would pass the 256 limit. Soooo probably 9 is the max.

That seems plausible. An other idea I just had is that since a spearman can now basically hit anything on the map, it take a non negligible time to check among all possible targets which one to choose, and then repeat about a hundred time. Although I'm not sure why it would "freeze" game time but not the software itself.

I have to say that this video was much better than the last one. This one has much more classic Spiff with Tea, mocking Americans, and defeating the French.

Apparently the 256x tech mod was so popular in AOE2 that Relic decided to add it by default into AOE4. In all seriousness that fact that you can only pull this exploit off once for each tech adds an interesting possible dynamic for PVP. The more research buildings you can build the stronger a tech will be once you do research it, thus games would become about stalling getting each tech for as long a possible; but if you wait too long you risk being overwhelmed by an opponent researching their techs earlier.

Spiff: America wouldn’t have independence without the French Me, an American:

*laughs in freedom while I microwave my tea water

watching you double-clicking instead of pressing the upgrade key is something I would do as well.

Your videos haven’t been my notifications or recommend in a month

I'm pretty sure you can multi-select building by double-clicking one of them, or at least you could in AOE2, so you could select all the blacksmiths to get them researching the same thing at the same time.
