Team Unitlimit

[SC-Account]

Hey

I've always disliked how unit limit is handled if a player dies. In my opinion the purpose of unit limit is to ensure that the performance remains acceptable. So why not make a team unit limit?
A unit limit of 500 would mean that every player gets 500 unit limit in a team of 3 players (so 1500 in total). However, if one dies the 2 remaining have a unit limit of 750.
I think this should be bound to the full share option (as it is its logical consequence) or being a separate option.

If this makes full share to powerful a restricted share (like not sharing engineers) would be an option and certainly a less random one.

At the moment you are doomed if you don't get a single ASF/Antinuke on someone's death, but if you get both it is another story.

So team unit limit please!

whats the point of killing anyone in full share then?

You can play supremacy.

if you do it often enough, you win the game.
and supremacy is different to team unitcap.
i'd be happy to have the feature.

If you did this, it would have to be a variable individual limit, rather than a team limit. Otherwise the air player on Seton's for example could make 3000 T1 interceptors leaving his teammates with only ~300 units each to play with.

i see it as shep.

would it be too complicated to have both? a team unit limit and a personal?

Read the post again, it's about distributing a dead player's unit limit to the other players. You wouldn't be able to go over your individual share.

Unit limit is an artificial limit due to computing constraints, nothing more. Full share should be full share as far as it goes. If someone don't want a game with sharing just turn that off instead.

+1 for distributed unit limit.

Sounds like a winner.

What's the point of killing anyone in full share mid game then? What's the point in killing someone in full share if it is totally random if there is a point in doing so?

However, there is a point with shared unit limit too. You wont be able to handle 4000 units as easy. fighting with the entire units of 4 players against 4 players having only 1/4 of the units will be a hell of a challenge. And if you use one more ACU you lost.
You on the other hand have to kill 4.

You can play supremacy.

Not really :p

Yup, that is exactly what I suggested. At least my suggestion includes a personal unit limit AND a team unit limit. If one personal unit limit in the team gets taken out (player dies) all other personal unit limits get increased by a part of that.
