I know its been talked about before but i cant seem to find the info again.

What is it? And any way to check what unit number your save is on also?

Cause i've think i've hit it on a game im playing..

I don't know, but I think it's increasing in the next patch.

Didn't it kill the first Megagame?

I think so. At least LA Ermor and LA R'lyeh (freespawn nations) weren't allowed from the new one because the freespawn caused problems in the first.

The first megagame died, when there were about 2^16 (65000) units around.

Yes, it was about 65000 units that broke it. It would be hard to replicate that in anything short of a mega-game though.

Not so Ling, all it takes is a LA game on a LARGE map with Ermor and/or R'lyeh in it.

No one else is realistically hitting that limit, but they'll do it every time if you hit End Turn enough times.

The current upper limit is not known, but there is a known lower limit of 136k units that can be on the map at once without crashing the game and that has been there for at least three or four patches now.

I have an SP game that has reached that limit. sucks

Yes I hit a limit on one of my solo-play games also.
I havent pinpointed which limit it was in order to report it.

There are many confusing limits in the game. Raising one tends to bump our heads on another. And its not always clear why that limit would have anything to do with the other one.
