1948 for one civ and 2048 overall, at least for MGE.

I'm not sure of this. The game limit on cities is 255, but units are based on shield support, so...it would take a mathmatical model based on maximum city shield outputx255 to get an answer, but there are varibles, such as terrain type is not a constant for each city, but I believe that the answer is known to some scenario designers. I can remember playing a scenario(Red Front, I think), where I got a message that I had reached maximum units allowed. That maybe a scenario limitation, an not applicable to the standard game.

That would be 1948 vs 100.Sounds like a possible scenario.Sure wouldn't want to make it though

Yeah, actually those numbers sound correct.

I've had a window come up a few times during the early turns of RedFront where it says "there are too many units on the map, try disbanding some..."
In this part of the scenario, there are events giving the Germans lots of free units and the numbers that Julius Brenzaida mentioned sems to reflect the ammounts involved in the scenario.
