Hmm, could be they have raised it quietly then.

100% certain. It has been a development decision to make Dominions 3 to be playable also on lower end computers and slightly older systems. I was surprised to learn it myself, but when given the reasoning, I agree.

I suppose the limit could be increased to 150k or 200k, but the slowdown and performance hit increases linearly with the number of units in the game.

How do you explain the troop numbers in the game listed above then?

For the sake of anyone who's as curious as I was, there are 136,808 total troops in the above-linked game.

Yep, I also ran the numbers through a spreadsheet. So we have a lower limit of ~137k for the ceiling. People have reached the upper limits in some games, so it probably falls into the 150k-200k bracket. We'd need a confirmation from IW, though.

A confirmation would be nice, but also a game option where higher end computers can increase the limit.
Hey Devs... any chance of inclucing this option within a future patch?
