Warzone 2100 Forums

I haven't played this in awhile and I decided to play YinYang in skirmish 1v1.
But suddenly I was hit with a unit limit which I later found out was 100.

Now I can understand a unit limit that low for a game Like Battlezone 2 but not Warzone =(

I tried looking on the forums but have not really found a direct answer on how to change the unit limit.

Could someone tell me please =D

Looking to change it to around 3-500

Thanks

You need to change it via the source code.
Oh, and you are wrong, WZ takes up more CPU with more units... in fact, there was a darn good reason why they capped it at what they capped it at, since it made the game unplayable.

Start a skirmish game on a 10p map, and see how fast your machine slows down once hundreds of units are built...

Why don't we increase unit limit for games with less players?

Well why do you need more than 100 units?!

It still is performance issues.

If we haf good GUI where people can choose themselves, then, I wouldn't mind.
However, blindly increasing limits when we already know the playability of the game suffers greatly depending on the hardware people have is just asking for trouble IMO.

It reminds me: "I must learn C++". So I can contribute!

I recommend you learning in a slower fashion, first BASIC then Python then you can give C++ a try

Thanks for the tip(s).

I am almost finished learning Python, and I know Vimscript, Bash, and a little bit of C.

I know it's not a lot but at least it is something.

I am considering buying: Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++.
Do you reccomend any other good rescources?

You do know that Warzone was written C and remains largely so 15 years later. They just started compiling the complete game as C++ some time back. Automatic source code stats don't tell you that distinction.
