[Velusion]

While I understand the desire to increase the speed of the game for people with old computers it really sort of defeats the purpose if it just creates new all new frustrations (i.e. loosing the ability to recruit anything at all).

Putting freespawns last in the recruitment sequence would help a lot, but also giving people a the option to simply turn off the limit (even if only via a command line switch) would be the best fix (IMHO).
