can anyone tell me how u can raise the amt. of units u r allowed to have in your civ?

The number of units you're allowed to have is controlled by: (1) the type of government you're using; and (2) the composition of your empire. For example, Republic has a 1/3/4 support structure. If you have 20 size-6 towns, you can support 20 units (20 towns @ support of 1 each). If you increase every one of those towns to cities (size 7), you can support 60 units (20 cities @ support of 3 each). So you can usually raise your support limit by either increasing the number of towns under your control, or increasing their size. Feudalism is a little different, because it's unit support is something like 5/2/1, so smaller towns support more.

Hope that helps.
