something that seems logical to me is 250 or 255. because thats within a "Byte" limit. and according to PD, search for the number 76 for the 74 units bug, aparantly this is stored in a signed byte. this would want changing to an unsigned byte, and allow a new limit of 255 max. if the number of buildable units is the same or less than the number of cameos per tab, then people would never need to worry about the "Whiteboy" 74 units bug ever again.
even with 4 sides, nobody should top 250 units.(unless RP allows for more than 4 sides.) currently, R:ROTC has 4 sides, and another 4 "Hero" sides in a mod i'm working on called "Revolution: Battle of the Heros". the original intention for R:BOTH was to encorperate it into R:ROTC, however, there wasn't enough unit slots, nor a complex enough prerequisite system to allow it. this is because certain structures and units wanted to be shared between the normal side and the hero side, while maintaining a very split tech tree. IE, new construction yard, new barracks, new war factory, but same ore refinary, in most cases the same power plant and radar, but einstein wants a new powerplant, and a standard radar instead of an airport. this could probably be done using purely country spacific overides, however we wanted einstein and allied to still be able to build each others units if a war factory or barracks or construction yard was captured.
i think i forgot to comment on the Tech Level Slider earlier. R:ROTC was going to "Cheat" when it came to missions and turn units on and off by tweaking the missions tech level. therefore all sides in R:ROTC are more or less ballanced in the tech level issue. however, apart from the fact that i've been neglecting it recently, and might have broken a few items with recent tweaks and adjustments, R:ROTC would make use of this feature, but i'd definitly want it to be optional. because as said, not everyone has done what i've done, and the defaults in yuri's revenge are a complete mess. which reminds me... was i writing tech level numbers in my new unit guide... because if this slider gets in, it would be vital info imo.
if you are looking for more options to add to there, how about "Multi Engineer"? this is where a building is only captured if an engineer enters at red health, if an engineer enters with more then red health, they damage the building by 25%. in CnC and RA1, it was comman to capture a building using 4, 5 or 6 engineers, 4 to capture(a 5th to fully heal, a 6th would be incase the enemy tried to repair the structure after the first engineer entered, because this would result in the 4th engineer damaging the structure by 25% because it would have more than 25% health remaining), or to capture by attacking a building untill it was in red health, then stop the attack and send in 1 or 2 engineers. the second would fully heal the structure.
