so ya can the dark archons energy base amount be set to 12? without having to mod. Like i want the energy to be 12 max and i'm making mc cost 3 so can it be done?

No, it cannot be, however, if you only need one dark archon, it would be possible to have a trigger detecting it's MP then setting it lower if it exceeded 12. This wouldn't work for more than one dark archon without seperate triggers for each archon, as well as preplaced dark archons.

I think you can set max energy by going to Scmdraft's unit setting. If not, then just have a location (or more if you are going to have like 4+ dark archons) follow all the dark archons (or have it follow a single one, if there's only one dark archon) in the map using center location. Then for each time the location centers on a dark archon, use Uberation with one of its EUD conditions is can detect energy. So when it reaches 6% or more (12/200), you can set it to 6% exactly so you won't have units that go over 12 energy. (But if your triggers are slow, or a person is very skilled at timing and knows what the triggers are, he/she could munipulate it to get free energy!, but 3 energy isn't too much unless a person can keep it up for awhile).
But, I'm not so sure an EUD condition for detecting energy exists.
!!!Also, there's a news post that says the 1.13f might disable EUD conditiions?!?
Edit- Shattered moose posted it first, but if you have hyper triggers, than each trigger could hold up to like 3 dark archons.

ya i was thinkin of using eud but they have been temparily neutralized intill our programmer can attain the coding or whatever you wana call it. so its only the trigger way? and yes i have 6 preplaced dark archons

Without EUD conditions, the only thing you can basically do is to set it to 0 energy whenever you mind control a unit, and even though conditions would be difficult...
With EUD conditions, I would just suggest setting energy = 12 if it reaches 13. That would be the easiest, in reality, and it would best achieve the purpose.

oh wait actually this might be a good thing because i want the archon to be able to have like 3 mcs before he has to wait for energy but instead i can just make an upgrade possibility of just upgrading the energy level 
and this is for Chance Defense by the way unless they fix the eud conditions soon i'll use this way
