Too Many Units

Joseph · November 20, 2000, 14:57

I had 17 cities. 2 of the cities had 21 + tiles. 6 cities less than 19 tiles, the other 9 cities less than 7 tiles. No more than 6 units in my older cities (about 7 or 8 cities). 4 unit or less in all other cities. I had 3 ships, 1 stack of 4 units, 2 stacks of 2 units, and 3 or 4 single units. Started to receive a notice of to many units and the AI would delete some if I hit the end of turn button. I was playing at the Default level. Also no cheats.

I haven't seen this one at all, and I have many, many more units than you did (I had 10 stacks of 10 tanks each, plus a defense units in my cities and lots of boats). What type of government did you have? Could it have been that you couldn't support these units anymore. I think units are supported by production. Check it out.

Joseph, have you a 64MB RAM configuration?
What about you Zardos? Have you 128MB on your machine?

I'm playing on my "development" machine (actually a laptop). Its a Pentium Celeron 466 with 196 MB of RAM on Win2K.

The issue doesn't sound like a hardware configuration issue. It sounds like a gameplay issue, and my guess is still that he (yes, that's assumptive) doesn't have the production to support the units.

But I've been wrong before (once

)

FYI, RAM has nothing to do with the amount of units you can support. That message comes from the fact that your cities can't support the units you have. This is a combination of money and food. You mentioned having a lot of cities, but what you don't mention is what their production levels are. It's possible to support more units with less cities, if those cities are more productive.

Thank you. I,m way past that period now. You were right about production. In those small cities I did not have any irrigation at all. I was putting all of my PW into the 2 largest cities, try to make them big as possible and as fast as possible.
