Map limits
 

I was playing a UMS today, and while trying to build a building as protoss, it said something like no more units can be created. It wouldn't let me build any units or buildings. I've never encountered that before. Anyone know why it might have happend?

only 1600 units can be created buildings and units

I don't think I was anywhere near 1600 buildings and units. Doubtfully 100.

What map were you playing? Because the map items also count like trees and such and getting the msg at 100 seems weird, I only get it on Fastest after about 1/2 hour or on zero clut just before 20min nr is up.

It was one of the 3v3 shared maps.

Wow thats diff...never heard of that before lol are you sure it was only 100 units/buildings for everyone?

Ohh. You're talking about everyone. Well, then it was probably quite a bit more. Still, though, everyone else was still able to make units, and even with everyone combined, I'm 99.9% sure that we didn't exceed 1600 units.

Maybe they killed some shit so they could make units

Map could have been rigged, couldn't it?

I havn't had much prac with SC map creater/editer.

I don't think that was the case. I told my teammates of my problem, and they all thought that it was weird. They asked me a whole bunch of questions like I was a noob like if I had enough pylons and whatnot. They were all zerg, so they were mass producing weapons of mass destruction without any sign of problems.

Possibly, but I was the game creator, and I've used this map multiple times without any such problems. I normally play Zerg, and this time I was playing Protoss, but I don't see why there would be any restrictions on what 'toss could build.

Sounds like a bug in the map.

I've had that happen before. Exact same situation, you can't create anything more, but the others are still making stuff. I don't really have any answers for it, but maybe you just came to a halt in your productions so the game cut you off. While the other players still had more units in production... So once they got finished w/ thier units currently being produce they got cut off too...?

What units were you creating when this happened?
What units were your allies/enemies creating when this happened?

If like say a player is protoss and had 12x stargates producing 5x carriers each they count as units still thus adding to the 1600 map limit so if they or you were producing the units the map would be maxed out its basically just a race to see who clicked creat unit first =\

I was creating Photon Cannons at the moment when I realized it happend. I don't know what the other's were making. The weird thing was, though, if one of my buildings died or one of my units was sent to his death, I could make another building/unit. If the others sent an army of 60 hydras to die, I was still stuck not making anything.
