Good poly/tri count for WC3 models?

[FiremanClock]

I'm interested in making some models for WC3, although I am not sure what a good poly/tri count would be for them.
What would you reccomend for a common unit, and whats a good poly count to abide by for a hero?

I think (not completely sure) units is about 800'ish and heroes around 1500.

Yea, go with what he said, and you'll be fine.

Buildings that will be used once or twice in the map at most can go up to 4k

Attachments should be from 100-500, depending on the complexity of the model.

SFX should be even less.

Thanks guys, should help me out a fair bit.
Oh yeah one question I forgot.
What about texture sizes? I'm under the impression of needing to use 128 or 256 sized textures.

 

[Sephiroth_VII]

128, 256, 512. Are the sizes I think. 512 may be to big.
Look in the War3 Art Tools documentation, and it will answer alot of your questions. You can download Art Tools on the hive, just look for it.

Standard fodder unit is around 300-400 tris. Bigger units tend to be 600-700. Heroes, usually 500-1000. Attachments should be no bigger than 100 tris. Buildings usually report several thousand, but that includes multiple tiers/build animation.
SFX depends more on your emitter count than your tri count (I guess they're about the same, since an emitted particle is 2 tris).
Textures are typically 256x256, but this varies and really depends on how much quality you want. 512 is a little big for WC3 though.

As donut said, 256 is the typical texture size, but several units (such as the Pit Lord) use a 512x256 texture.

 

[donut3.5]

Oh yeah, forgot about those. A lot of mounted units/four leggeds use a 256x512 so they can avoid dealing with two skins for one unit.

Thanks, I managed to get 3ds Max 5 and the art tools installed. The documentation is fairly nifty too.
