Clever Unit Limit

I dont want to make this post Neonstorm like with too much text and formulas so keeping things rather simple.

Other RTS'es have it to prevent lag and needless spam so why avoid it here? Specially when zk have such cheap spammable units like fleas, dirtbags and darts. There would be great advantages:
*Easier to define minimum system requirements
*No spaming crap to kill all weak CPU players in dirty way.
*More consistent framerate during whole game.

Now obviously this unit limit couldnt be static per player. Very basic formula should be global unit limit calculated from map size and divided amongst all players. This would mean small map = many units big map less units, more players less units per player etc.

Unit limit could be visible on economy bar with max allowed and current unit counts.

PS. I personally now have 4670K and actually playing on max settings without lags, but I still remember old times and I feel for players who lag.

Large teams sometimes (often?) devolve into speed-metal due to porciness and the eco spam though.

I don't see how is this a problem, the lack of a proper unit limit makes porcfests laggy and unplayable which encourages players with shitty cpus to play real games (1v1/small teams)

So mass !resign isint problem unit limit I see aint problem too. Because 1v1.

I think arguing that lag is good because it encourages 1v1/small teams is bad and wrong, it mainly discourages people from playing zero-k. If we would want to discourage big teamgames, we should prohibit them on public servers. But this is not what this thread is about at all. I think we should discuss what spoils fun the most: not being able to make units, or not being able to control them properly? And to which extent one lagger could limit other players to make units.

Jokes aside, this is why I played 1v1 exclusively for my first 4 months or so.

I think that a dynamic unit limit is the worst of all possible solutions.
