In what folder

[Tampa_Gamer]

Not a folder, option when setting up the game. I believe under "game mechanics"

Not sure what the max is but you need to set this up for each game. It is defaulted to 100. I raise it to 500. Click on new game. Then click on the game settings tab. I would guess that this number is not only ships but units also. I have over 300+ ground units that were involved in one battle alone. Hope this helped.

I know the max. that setting will goto is 2000, I want to set it higher by changing the max. for that setting in the data files, I just can't find the right file in SEIV's files.
Anybody knwo where in SEIV's files I can find that setting?

Danny,

Don't set higher 2000 is absoult max I think for the game. Anyhting higher should corrupt it, why you need more than 2000 anyway?

Between mines, satilites, and fighters I can easily have 2000 of those in space at anyone time, I did in SEIII.

If it corrupts it I'll change it back, anybody know where that setting is?

I've never fiddled with the setting but I've had 200+ troops landing and clashing with equal numbers of enemy troops. I think the limit must be applied to ships alone, not units. And if you add up all the WPs, satellites, and mines I've had . . .

Come to think of it, in the game I just played, I'd deployed hundreds of mines, had between 300-400 troops moving around in transports or stationed on planets, a force of 200 carrier-borne fighters, and I couldn't count how many dozens of weapons platforms were deployed. Waaay more than 100 total and even more than 100 in each Category.

The two settings are for number of ships in space (starts at 100, max 2000) and number of units in *space* (starts at 100, max 2000). So I'm guessing this means you could have 2000 mines in space, and still 1000's of fighters, as long as they are on ships, or on planets. At least thats how I interrupt the rule.

Also I don't believe this variable is located in any text file, at least through the files I've looked through.
