Civ Advance Maximum?

[DanoWisdom]

I saw in an old thread that there is a maximum allowable number of advances of 255. But later in the thread that was disputed

Is there, or is there not, a limit?

My mod is looking to have well over 300 Techs...if there is no limit, that is!

There's no limit in C3C.

Thanks, jatibi!

That makes my day. I was afraid I'd have to start cutting some of my Techs.

I've tested this, and it definitely goes above 512 techs, meaning it will be at least 1024

Saying there is no limit is saying that one could literally have an infinite number - but there is always a memory limit. As Virote says, it's going to be some power of 2.

a separate concern will be the ability of the game to properly display such a large number of items. & there may be a related limit on the number of pedia entries.

There's no practical limit.

I have four eras so crowded that each tech box has three tech boxes above or beyond it + a significant number of hidden no-era techs, and I have not reached a limit.

The worry are buildings (256), cities on map (512), strategic/luxury resources (resource bug >32), number of units referred by one resource in the civilopedia, cost for unit/tech/... (1000) ...

... and 8192 units on the map, if you're crazy enough.

and 32 civs

If you play AoI long enough, you will hit this mark.
