Population can't support large amount of units

[raimo_m]

I'm facing a really annoying problem. My defense minister keeps telling me that my population can't support any more units. In other words, I have too large army. Even though I really don't, in my opinion

I play on emperor level and have the earth map. I have around 120 units and 62 cities (Asia, Europe, Africa and Australia and in control).

The problem doesn't limit to defense ministers notices. It appears as units disappearing and the production of new units stops -they just don't get produced. Quite annoying, trying to organize massive attack. In addition, sometimes some units get produced, but it results in that some units disappear from cities' defense. The problem is somehow also conjuncted to the amount of active units.

Anybody knowing any resolutions ? I don't know if this is a bug or a property of the game.

to the wellknown 'large amount of units' disclaimer
i had to add
that OFTEN in the game
OLD/gone UNiTS who are NOT PRESENT in the game anymore
are listed as existing units in the units window!

i did have that '(TOO) large amount of units' disclaimer
and in my units window there were ~30 units listed as 'active' - not existing on the map or in the cities.

maybe these things 'correspond' together?

my solution for this game bug is to form/found as less cities as possible and make those 'few' cities (up to max 50 --> 100) as big as possible (up to "36")

similar to the pollution bug (limitation of future techs and so on)
there is / have to be a limitation of units, so you have to be economic with ol' civ dos.
it would be simply great if some day the game would be re-programmed with the
- same looks
- same behaviours of gameplay
but
- endless units, cities, techs and so on
- adjustable Ai
- auto-settlers
- clear visible movements of Ai civilizations' actions (caravans, diplos/spies, contacts)

Doesn't happen often but it is an annoyance.

There is no resolution, this is intrinsic to the design of the game.

Limits:
Cities: 127 total for all countries.
Unites: 127 for each civilization.

Put your map & sve file in a ZIP file and unload them for us all to see.
