Hey !
I have a problem with units. At some point in the game, I can’t create any more units or make them evolve. When I make them evolve, I have a return windows, and when I create them they "disappear".

I really don’t know what to do.

I play on custom cards (350 x 350).
I have version 1.22 of Civilization 3 Conquest.
A recent MSI laptop (model I5)

Thanks for your help !
 
There is a hardcoded limit (~8100 units total, for all Civs). Once that unit-limit is reached, the unpatched game will not allow any more units to be built by anyone.

The best/only way to get around this limit is to use the C3X patch for the conquests.exe, written and maintained by CFC-user @Flintlock. You should be able to find it easily via the Creation&Customisation subforum, but note that this patch was based on (and so can only be used reliably with) the downloadable version of C3C sold by GOG + Steam.

lolo4286, welcome at CFC! :band: [party]

The hardcoded limit for units in C3C is 8192 units and for PtW it is only the half of them. As tjs282 posted, the unit limit in C3C can be overcome easily with the C3X mod by Flintlock. It needs the GOG or steam version of Civ 3 Complete. There is a hint, that the mod should work even with the old CD version of C3C and a NO-CD patch, but I have never tested this. The GOG version of Civ 3 Complete is on sale all few weeks for only € 1,29.

Other hardcoded limits in C3C are (at present):

256 resources
256 buildings ; edit: limit removed by the C3X mod since version R 20
512 cities (mods that try to enlarge that number show big negative issues)
31 civs
