Hope someone can help me out here...
I've got a 'pre-release' version of my map ready and it works pretty well except that I would like to be able to Mass Create the attacking forces much like in HGMA.
Currently the trigger looks likes this:
========
Conditions:
Elapsed scenario time is at least 0 seconds
Actions:
Set "Round 1 Start''
========
========
Conditions:
Round 1Start is set
Actions:
Create 1 Overlord at Start1
========
and so on and so forth....
This works pretty well but the number of units is very limited due to the inevitable "Unit unplacable" error that crops up if I add more than 5 units per location making the map rather easy and boring =[
Please help!!

You can just wait a while until the units move away then tell it to create more so then you don't have the unit unplacable error.

You're right, it's inevitable. So exactly what kind of solution do you want?

Or you could make the location larger, so more can fit before they are unplaceable.

Only 5 overlords? err whatever.
Anyways a way to avoid the unit unplaceable is to create the units elsewhere on your map and move(teliport) them where you want them to be. This way if there isn't space there they simply won't be moved and will remain where they were. But best of all no error message.

I'm sure that if there are no units in the way, then you can create at least 9 overlords at a location without problems.
But if the overlords are too slow at moving out of the way, then probably even Bolt's method won't allow you to increase the rate of creation of overlords.
One thing you could do is to have two separate locations near to each other, so that the overlords can be created at two locations instead of at just one.
You could always balance the map in some other way: give the overlords more hp/armour
