Unit Limit Penalty Counts Civilians?

I played a game this past weekend with the newest beta and didn't find any big issues that haven't already been reported, but wanted to ask if the issue I'll bring-up is a bug or not. CEP is the only mod I've been playing with when I notice this issue.

First, I confess: I like to hoard Great People. I'll keep scientists and bulb them later on (when teching really starts to seem to slow-down), or I'll keep writers/artists/composers until spaces open-up for their Great Works.

While hoarding these folks, I notice a small red exclamation point telling me that I'm over my limit for military units, and that, as a result of being over this limit, production of land military units is given a penalty of X%.

However, I've noticed that the game is counting my Great People, my workers, and my archaeologists towards the limit of allowed units. (This was not the case in GEM, I don't think.)

I've also noticed that this x% production penalty is being implemented on all production - not just land military units. So production on wonders, buildings, etc is being adversely affected.

I tend to play pretty tall games (lots of OCC games, too), and in these games I tend to keep a pretty mediocre defense force stationed in my lands (something I'll regret someday, I'm sure.. hehe..), so I know that my military units aren't anywhere near the limit. I'm hoping that this is in error.. any help would be appreciated - I'm enjoying this mod more and more! :)
 
This is (probably) vanilla function. Unit upkeep and supply counts haven't been enabled yet in CEP.
 
This is part of the vanilla game. In Gem I basically disabled the whole vanilla system and created my own, which only counted military units. I plan to reactivate that eventually.
 
I don't know how you are being supply capped either way. Thal has set the base supply cap for units to 100, over 20 times the vanilla supply cap. Press F3 to take a look at your unit overview and the unit supply should be listed in the left.
 
I'm relieved to hear it was an intended vanilla design. It was puzzling/annoying to see it pop-up, especially after playing with GEM rules for so long. :P
