The_Silent means that if you place too many units in the map editor, you've placed too many. It's as simple as that. You've hit the cap.

And no, you can't change the max. It's hard-coded.

the next best thing is to set a trigger to spawn the required monsters in a certain area. its much faster and simpler.

As far as I know there's no "real" hardcoded unit limit. I've created 32 000 units before. It's possible, but I STRONGLY suggest you not to do it, because it lags more terribly than you can imagine.

Unit orders also start to lag when you go over 1 000 units.

May i ask why you create 32 000 units lol?

Anyway.. What's the unit cap (to place without triggers)?

This is the only thing i found related to my question and no answer...
There is a way to do it with avoiding lag.

How many units do you estimate to be the actual limit?
Next to which, your map wont run properly if you have more than 64 units moving per player.
And with 16 players as max, that would be 1024 units moving at max.
Gl on getting 32k units running properly.
