No you can't since sc is over 10 years old.

But you can use the starcraft standard sounds. Those just take a string but don't increase map size.

In short, the map I was talking about is a heroes-alike map with towns, gold mines and turn-based spawn system in towns. I was making the map enough time ago to forget most things about it. So I dont remember everything in details but in general I wanted to make the probablity of a unit spawning in town depending on two parameters the amount of your kingdom daily gold income and current quantity of units: the more income the bigger is the probablitiy the more units you have the lesser is it. Also I was implementing random towns growth: new houses were randomly spawned in the town's vicinity and townsfolks were spawning behind these houses and randomly walking between them. As far as I remember these were the most trigger consumeing parts.

I cant explain the system I was making "on fingers", because it is complex and even I have to spent some time to remember what I was doing. Also the explanation will take up a lot of room (something like a good-written tutorial out there or even more). If you're interested I can show you the map and triggers and what not... I would have showed everyone triggers, but it is useless, because to understand them one have to spend quite enough time.

Right! Btw, if anyone is interested I am going to upload the newest version of MacroTriggers to the thread right now. It hasn't got any new features but there are few bugfixes.

Well, devilesk 8500 triggers still is not 14-20k triggers, it is almost twice fewer... But I can admit that the lag in my map *might* be partially caused by units giveing. I've remembered that I am giveing about 5-8 units each trigger loop on average and about 50 units each tenth loop.

Dont know why, but I just have a feeling that the practical higher bound of number of triggers is not flying somewhere in clouds but is near and reachable...

EDIT: Also I think that with an extensive usage of death counter arithmetic (like addition, multiplication, subtraction and division) it is easily possible to reach the amount of 100k-200k triggers... I am even scared to think what would happen then... not taking in account that the map with so large amount of triggers will be like 5-10mb in size only because of triggers...
