Max number of active enemies

[jeffareid]

I may have found the limit on number of active enemies, which is 14. In Unfinished Business, The Hive level, there is a room with 16 mummies that can't climb or jump. Lara can run out of this room, which should trigger all 16, bearing right into the next hallway, then left and jumping up onto a block. Once on the block, 14 of the 16 mummies will show up, so apparently only 14 got triggered. This is in one of my savegames for the hive. The other mummies won't trigger until Lara kills the mummies in the room with her.

The more moving enemies the more the game slows down on the average PC, so there is a limit.

Your right about the hive being full to the MAX of enemies in unfinished business, but if you look at most of the tomb raider games in the series, when you have humanoid baddies there are usually no more than three or four at any one time.

Smaller baddies like insects can be more numerous.

Lastly we have the big guys, like the six handed Indian statues in TR3, and we are usually limited to one or two of them.

If you start looking at custom made games, the home-made level designers can push the game engine way beyond the limit, and I have seen one level avaiable on the custom websites with three of these Indian statues and a few jaguar cats all at the same time in a large room, but the movement does slow down.
