Hi I´m new here and was just wondering how many polys you player/enemies have?

This all is really limited by the hardware of the target machine, you could have each model be some 20k but you would thus greatly limit how many machines could run the applications. Personaly I would say upto 5k for models such as a player that will be seen on screen constantly; such as with a 3rd person camera.

for my rts units, i try to keep it at 500 to 1000 poligons, as there might be a lot of them displayed at the same time.
if you're looking for me, start looking on irc, i'm probably there.
