Unit limit is too high

Then why was I kicked when i did the same on epicshore? :/

Yeah cause we all need 1500 Fleas on Patrol.

Obvious trolling is obvious. To bad Devs/Mods do not care.

why do we even need such a limit?

limit of 200-400 would mean sometimes you have to switch from wind spam to solar spam or fusion spam to save units.

It would be good to limit cheap units: fleas, glaives, darts
Set limit only for them.

I have only ever lagged when warlok built 1200 fleas and i am running on an i3 with intel hd 2000. Wooden pc does not seem to be a problem for me.

It's not a valid strategy, and Saabir should at least get kicked for this. There are certain things you can do that will bring the pathfinder to it's knees.

!votekick exists so you can moderate yourselves.

But yeah, the real solution to this is to play serious games rather than 10v10's.

If someone wants to code something to limit fleas and cloggers to around 200 each or so per side, I would support its inclusion.

Current ZK democracy system fails at this really hard. Mostly 1 or 2 votes effectively counter 8 votes you even require more people to vote its like "veto". Also current system doesnt count in afks, who dont vote so its really hard to kick player, unless everyone votes 1. And yes we tried at least 10 times to kick him.

ftfy

But but sometimes you need 400 glaives, like when you are charging that porc line and a single doomsday round takes out like 60+ units. It's not like there is a much better way to spend money than to just spam monster waves of small units giving riots a field day.

Nonsense Klon as always. There is no scenario when you would need more than few few hundreds of fleas or dirtbags or whatever so cheap and spammable, dirtbag limit could go even lower because they are just that annoying :)

Nonsense norm0616 there cant be worse thing than killing doomsday with glaives thats just plain stupid, make some arty.

Starcraft has unit limit and everybody is happy and it is damn low and in zk you can spam till most of people lags out. We are talking here limiting only 1 type of unit, but of course global unit limit per team should be enforced too.

Of course perfect scenario would be to calculate limits per player depending on game size, so if you play 1v1 you can spam all 1000 fleas if you want, but if it is something like 10x10 it is max 100, so you wont lag game for everyone else. There cant be big game with even more units you either sacrifice game size or controllable unit count per player(NOT TEAM also FFA would be whole different story) wanna control bigger army? go play smaller game. And this is solution to lag which plagues spring based games.

Only one problem dunno if dynamic limits is possible at all, because even if they are calculated and set on game start it should be doubled after afk take for player or two coms at start should also mean double unit limit for that player.

Actually I remember on tech anihilation(very porcy game with T4 and so on) we had ~500 unit limit per player or something and actually it worked it prevented massive flea spams and lag.
