Okay, that's a good point, Joe. I guess I was more *thinking* that lower CPs translated into lower unit counts, and that's probably flawed. To be honest, I think what I'm driving at is how to make the game turn a bit quicker? More bang for the buck. (...) (21 years ago, 16-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.us.nelug, lugnet.gaming.brikwars)

While the CP limit can clearly influence the number of units you can create, in a game like (...) (21 years ago, 16-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.us.nelug, lugnet.gaming.brikwars)
