    Default Max No# Units??

    What is the maximum number of units that can be added to the game? I have heard there is a limit. I didn't see anything in Duke John's Unit Guide on this, so...

    BKB's Mod has 256 units according to the Gnome Editor and the Reconquista Mod has 325 units according to the Gnome Editor. I am not sure if the Reconquista Mod uses all of the units, or if this makes a difference. Does anyone actually know the maximum?

    256 I believe is the limit. It makes sense in computer terms as well.

    Any idea on how the Reconquista Mod gets away with 325 units?

    I was hoping to add some units to the BKB Mod!

    Hmmm, are the units after the 256th available to be produced in-game? Or are they redundant?

    Well the units down to No# 156 are Mod specific units, and that is when the standard vanilla in game units begin. From No# 307 to 325 you have the ships, agent's and Spy's, and then the crusade/jihad. I would assume that a lot of those units are not producible as Sherwood Foresters and Pictish Cavalry were not usually found in Spain. However the spy and crusade are probably producible. Does this mean that the total number of enabled units can only be 256? Where does the information for the number 256 come from?

    Perhaps they're not all available in any particular era at once?
