Hi im making a map where there could be alot of units in the map at any one time and i was curious as to what exactly is the maximum number of units can have on the map? or is it more of a matter of sprites?
Well, what editor are you using? if you are using SCM Draft 2, then i know how to fix that. I think that any other map editor has a limit, and SCM Draft 2 still had a limit, but u can modify that a little, allowing you to put more sprites and units. I think that the limit tho is 511 units or something like that.

The_Blackness: In a editor the max limit is 1650 units, during the game it rises to 1700.
You can't change it unless your modding because it's hardcoded into the game.
Quick Answer
Units = 1650.
Units in Game = 1700
Sprites = 256 (adjustable in scmdraft 2, Options -> Master Settings)
Doodads = Not quite sure, but if you do them in scm draft, load them into sf, then they get converted to sprite and terran.
No way to change it, it's hardcoded. - bad luck, even if u found a way to place a lot in the editor, i suppose in game it just wont tolerate it.

Good god, the ingame sprite limit is 2048 (or closest power of 2) not 256.....
Oh yea, and units each use one sprite.
i was talking about the default limit in the scmdraft editor.
and i told him how to adjust that using 'Master Settings'
Here ill make it really simple....
UNITS: 1700 1650
DOODADS (SPRITES): 2048 256
STRINGS: 1024
ACTIONS: 64
CONDITIONS: 32
Max conditions on X-tra is 16. I'm sure of it.

roofle, no it isn't. I'll bet you 100 minerals.
I run a bank and I'm not a risky kind of person. Even though i do know its 32.
Thanks alot you guys i didnt need to know how to change any thing i just needed to know what the maximum number of units was while in the game and im pretty sure 1700 will be more than enough thx alot
