I was playing with my brothers on a tug of war map and the units kept maxing out so i did a quick fix that usually works: increasing map size and it didnt work. So i am asking is there a way to go about making max units bigger. I know of the option in a menue in scm draft but i wasnt sure if it was all that reliable or if would make the game crash if i did the wrong number.
Do you mean reaching max units in game?If so there isn't a way to fix that.
None.
The max amount of units on a map at a time is 1700, units will stop attacking well before that, since there is a much smaller sprite limit, these limits cannot be changed as they are just the limits of SC.
None.
Actually the image limit has to be a lot bigger than 1700. But each unit spawns 2 or 3 images (the graphic itself, the shadow, the attack bullets, the working building overlay, etc.), plus doodads also create images.
Making the unit limit bigger than 1700 you'd probably just get a lot of lag and the engine wouldn't work well.

Simple answer: You can't.

Yep, they are correct. Maps can only be pushed to the engine's limits.

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically[2026-6-21. : 4:26 am]
Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new
