As claimed by @vladislavbelov on several occasions (e.g. https://wildfiregames.com/forum/topic/29654-request-sacrificial-knife/?tab=comments#comment-405553), having many different actors affects performance. A way to reduce the effect, but still allow many variants is to optionally disable the randomness. This should limit the number of different variants if disabled, but keeps the old performance if enabled.

Check that it actually improves performance
Check no OOS occurs

| 84 | I guess you mean variants instead of graphics items? | |
| 85 | graphics.entityvariety? | |

| 202 | slight and boost are kind of opposite ;) | |

| 567–568 | This sentence is a continuation of Choose a random number in the interval [0..totalFreq) so with the full-stop there this needs to be changed as well. | |
| 568 | I'm not sure what this all does, but can't you skip the whole searching for a match? | |

| 568 | We sometimes want to force a unit to take a certain form (choose some animation say), I think... | |

| 84 | What is meant with remaining here? | |
| binaries/data/mods/public/gui/options/options.json | ||
| 202 | small and boost are still. I suggest using improvement over boost. Then either slight or small as you wish, | |
| source/graphics/ObjectBase.cpp | ||
| 570 | If randNum is 0 due to entityVariety == false, this will become negative immidiately, I think? (Assuming (*grp)[i].m_Frequency) is a positive integer.) Causing us to break at after the first loop with match == 0? | |

| 202 | Maybe Works best in a new match.? The "game" word (in context of match) in options seems a bit misleading to me. | |
| source/graphics/ObjectBase.cpp | ||
| 567 | entityVariety might be not initialized afaik. | |
| 568 | Are sure that you need to ask options for each group and each model? | |
| binaries/data/mods/public/gui/options/options.json | ||
|---|---|---|
| 202 | by the changes it now requires to restart a match, this doesn't have to be done like this, by adding some function setting the parameter on the fly | |
