Reducing big battle lag

Hey all, this isn’t technically a bug so I thought I’d post this here.

I have a pretty decent rig with a Radeon R9 200 card and the game actually runs pretty dang smooth on ultra settings. Problem is once I engage in combat with more than 50 units on the screen at a time the fps drops substantially. Around 5-10 frames. Anything outside combat is usually fine.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Also has anyone had a chance to mess around with the settings and figure out what to drop to improve performance in this case?

Thanks for the help in advance!

I usually drop shadows right down to low or turn off. You dont notice it so much, and it can give you a decent performance boost. Then start dropping other things. I believe the anti-isotropic filtering doesn’t really take that much in performance, so maybe try other things first.
