Double Click might have an upper limit but I suspect that its not far from the upper limit of what you can assign to a commander anyway. Do we really need doubleclick to pick up more than 255 of something so you can assign them to one unit? (I dont know if thats the limit)

There's no such limit. I've picked up over 500 units with doubleclick.

The problem isn't with what you can pick up, it's with what you're picking it up from. If there are too many units in the garrison you can't doubleclick it, period.


I think I know what's going on here. The more units you have in the garrison the closer together they are. I think the doubleclick failure is due to the units getting closer together--if they're packed too tight it won't work. Note that this explains the poster who found the limit went up when he got better hardware--he probably was running in a higher video mode.

It's a pain with any race that has freespawn.
