Group
From Neverend
The inner circle is an individual. 2 to 6 individuals can form a party (second circle). 2 or more parties can form a group of parties, which is counted as a single army (third and fourth circle). This applies to players, NPCs, animals, and monsters. An individual is considered a unit. A party is considered a unit, but a player may leave to become an individual unit. An army is considered a unit, but a party or individual may leave to become an individual unit. Units can fight other units of different size (player vs party, army vs player, party vs army)
As the number of units on screen is greater, abstraction occurs. Effects are reduced or eliminated. Polycount is lowered to significant levels. Animations are turned off. Player models are reduced to low-poly models that move and attack, with only basic animations showing melee, ranged, and spell attacks.
