Error in turn 1756 Emp lvl

[purplesage30]

Hello everyone, I've been playing for about 6 years and have never had this problem...I can't seem to find anyone else who has either.

I am playing the Civ III Complete Edition. I have no problems with anything computer or installation related, this install on this machine has been entertaining me for almost two years now.

About 4 turns ago I found that my entire civ is producing only one unit, usually a Mech, and one or two ICBMs each turn. It should be producing about 35 Mechs per turn, and anywhere from 6 to 10 ICBMs. I get the pop up screen that tells me I produced that many, but when I am done choosing for each city the units are not there.

I've saved, reloaded, reloaded the earliest autosave I have, and repaired the game install. I hadn't done anything between the turns making the right amount and the ones that started eating my units...and I've been playing for about 75 hours on this game. (I do have to pause for making meals and sleeping sometimes, but I leave the game up for anytime I have a second to play. NOBODY comes to my den and touches the computer, everyone here has there own.)

Does anyone know what I can do? Or do I just start over?

How many units do you and the AIs have? It might be that you have hit the unit limit and can't build more.

I have about 600 total units, unless you count ICBMs (I have 200 of those in addition to my movable units), the other civs have at least 3000 each. I am tied with the next leader with 29% of the total land mass, and they are all still making 20 to 40 units per turn according to the spies I have in their civs.

I didn't know there was a unit limit? But if so, wouldn't I be able to make as many as they have?

Thanks!

There is a unit limit. Like the city limit, it's hard coded and unchangeable. Both also apply to everyone, not just your Civ. The city limit is 512, and the unit limit is 4096 for Vanilla/PTW and 8192 for Conquests.
