Yep. Smoothing in itself is an increase in polycount. The way the game engine is is what we have to work with and thus since it doesn't allow hard edges we have to find ways to circumvent this 'problem'. Sacrifices have to be made and unfortunately it's an increase in polycount on this one or live with the strange shadowing effects. I chose to live with the shadowing effects on the pennants.
Maybe there is another way you could design given item to reduce the polycount then?
