That is one hell of alot of units.
Anyways go around the edge of the map and delete every building that is placed partly off the edge, i think i saw two just along the top. (just make sure the entire building is within the limits of the map when you replace it)

its probably the string limit

Max Units is 1650, your map has about 1200. Max strings is 1024 i don't think he is near it yet. athough he has the locations maxed.

Do any of you guys know why the limits are as they are?
Is it because the "byte" thing or what?

Units placed off the map crash. Thats why beginners and average map makers should use base xtra editor.
Heck, I use it!

Also, Yoshi, you forgot to mention that should be used because grid alignment owns.

But in Base editor you couldn't place buildings on unplaceable terrain/ there are only X-tra triggers. When i use programs like scmdraft the result is very poor, bcause i donno everything about this program.

On the problem: make sure you dont have any portraits in the briefing or something for ones that dont exist. I havent looked at the map yet so..

I just use SCM DRAFT for building placement then you get the nice grid placement plus the place on any terrain

You should place buildings like this last.
You need to play around with it a bit.

1. Don't change the way your strings work/don't manipulate them in any way like change the limits.
2. Make sure all buildings, units, and sprites are not even partially off the map.
3. Make sure all units/buildings are 2 squares away from the bottom of the map.
4. Don't use ed up ASCII code in your triggers.
5. Don't give units extremely long names because half of the name doesn't show anyway.
6. Don't use any players other than 1-12 unless you have knowledge of their actions.
7. Don't use pre-placed disabled sprites or units if you don't know what they do.
8. Remove your pre-placed interceptors because they don't do anything.
