@AnyILL: Go
Actually there is. You understand I meant how many you can have selected at the same time, right? It is a large amount, but it isn't un-limited so far as my testing went. You have 5 tabs on your selection or something like that, I think after they all fill up you can't select anymore. You might be able to go over it a little (Which I doubt) but in any case it is limited. (I thought it was 144, but I can't conform the exact amount - I just kept selecting more units until it couldn't let me.)
This isn't critical to my map, but it would be a nice feature!
Ok it's actually limited to 256 or 255 I didn't precisely checked (probably 255 since you can have 0 unit selected). It's a 2^n limitation so chances are great than it's hard code and I don't think you can change it.
Be careful, this number has nothing to do with the 5 slots, which are only a 24*5=120 icon limitation only for the interface. You can select far more than 120.

Yep, I could keep selecting past when the 5 tab appeared so I had a feeling it was more then that. Well, thats for the info. I guess it wasn't that necessary since you can always group units 1-9 anyways.
Yeah if you add 9 shortcut, it put the selection by shortcut to 2295, I think it's enough to slaughter most of computer quickly.
Lol, One of my computers (Not the best one) got 3000+ units and although it lagged it was not unplayable. I bet it would lag more on b.net though. In ANY case, my map should never have that many units! Lol
It's interesting to see what are the technical limit, I suppose to be playable on battle net, we should avoid 1000+ units on a map, especially if most of them are moving in the same time.
Refer to the map Nexus Wars for having more than 1000 units on the map at the same time. Also, as secondary confirmation, the maximum selection is 255 units.

Does anyone know how to make it so you can select more units?
Thanks!
But there is no limit to the number of unit you can select
