melee map lag

[Animalpower]

When I play melee maps on computer (normal) and computer (hard) the gameplay lags, after some time, when the players build alot of buildings and when they attack each other. I can barely move the cursor. What can fix melee lag?

Damn, a year or two ago, when I was testing my map, "Icecrown Glacier", my team and I had the same issue. I remember coming up with a rational hypothesis to explain why it happened, but I no longer remember it, I'm so sorry.
If I happen to have an epiphany, I'll post here.

Can only remember this one incident, where a mapmaker build a very tiny start location so the computer had no space to build structures but always tried to do so. Had to endlessly endeavor the pathing algorithm.

Upload map.

The reason is simple: too many units at same area OR too many AI players. Check their gold while plaing. If they got over 1000 and not training any unit thats AI problem. Play with lesser players or buy new PC.

It's not that simple. At least I don't have problems in StarCraft II, which has way more units and demands a lot more from the processor and the graphic card.

I'm not sure if it's the building space, but I guarantee to you (and the original poster) that it's something the AI keeps trying to do and either fails or continues to do for some silly reason.

SC2 is made another way I think. In WC3 there are still textures. Someone told me (but I don't have SC2 so can't check it) that it has vectors with brush indead of pixels. That makes it easier to generate at higher qualiti.

This is the most nonsense thing I have heard for months...

SC2 has the exact same problem if you move to an island where ground units can generally not reach you. The AI keeps trying to do something demanding because it fails. In SC2's case it is trying to move their land armies to attack you when there is no land path to you.

Looks like someone lied to me.
