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. Zardos |

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 ) Zardos |

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.Pyaray |

PyarayThank 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. ------------------
