Hi,

  With all the posts about ideas for WC3, how about a higher limit on the 
number of units a game can control. Ok, this would raise the minimum spec 
machine needed, but yesterday I played a level I created myself against three 
computer players, and by the time I'd built my farms and buildings I could 
have six (count them again, yep six) troops with which to attack. I'd not gone 
overboard with farms or buildings (food for 50, one of each), had only half a 
dozen peasants, but my three opponents had just created and created hordes of 
people and used up what the game could control. I was slightly miffed.

  Admittedly I did recover from it by ditching the troops for Mages and 
blizzarding the enemy, building units as soon as I killed some, but it would 
be nice to have a larger limit.
