Limiting Units

[JimTheConqueror]

Hi there, I have found these forums fascinating so far, but haven't had the time to read everything, so apologies if this has been covered elsewhere.

Is it possible to limit the number of a given unit that a civilization can have at any one time?

I ask for two reasons:

i) Someone elsewhere mentioned creating a SUPER unit for each civilization...something like the Bismark battleship maybe. I would assume they were hoping to limit this to one? or maybe make it cost as much as a Wonder to build?

ii) I would love to see Special Forces inserted into the game -- via Helicopter night-infiltration? -- , and I was hoping it would be possible to make these pretty darn tough, but put a limit down where just a few at a time can be built. IS this possible?

So, can it be done? Oh and who was the person with the super unit idea, have they embarked upon this mod/unit?

Cheers
Jim

Hmm, make them army unit with transport capacity 0 ?

I think that'd be a really good idea, being able to build a unit, but have it be a limited number, and have it be civ-spacific. I think in civ2 scenarios people could make units appear via event files, and make them unbuildable. It's been a long time, perhaps I'm wrong, but I think I remember things like that. It would still be better if we could build them...
