I wish to know the maximum Military Units that can be created in HOI2?

Dear People

I wish to know the maximum Military Units that can be created in HOI2. For example in creating an historical MOD for Germany in Armageddon.

For example this is what I have attempted. I have played this scenario and I am tweeking and fine tuning it as I go. For those interested, I have created and applied extra historical divisional units to the other Axis nations and have created Serbia, Slovakia and Croatia etc. Ps England has been conquered.

I allocated the Army Groups OKH, OKW etc an Id number higher than 1000

# Heeresgruppe Süd
landunit =
{ id = { type = 10500 id = 1100 }
name = "Hk HG Süd"
location = 479
division =
{ offensive = { year = 1941 month = august day = 25 }
id = { type = 10500 id = 1101 }

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The Armies, Korps and Divisions total about 600. id numbers 1 - 599

landunit =
{ id = { type = 10500 id = 13 }
name = "LI. Korps -HG Süd Reserven"
location = 481
division =
{ offensive = { year = 1941 month = august day = 25 }
id = { type = 10500 id = 14 }
name = "79. Infanterie-Division"

-----------------------------------------------------------

The Navy about 250 units id numbers are 600 to 857

# KRIEGSMARINE
navalunit =
{ name = "Atlantische Flotte"
id = { type = 10500 id = 600 }
location = 32 # Brest
base = 32 # Brest
division =
{ id = { type = 10500 id = 601 }
name = "KMS Bismarck"

------------------------------------------------------------------

The Airforce about 150 units. id numbers 858 to 982

# LUFTWAFFE
# Luftflotte 1
airunit =
{ id = { type = 10500 id = 858 }
name = "I. Fliegerkorps"
location = 510
base = 510
division =
{ id = { type = 10500 id = 859 }
name = "KG 1 'Hindenburg'"

I also created a number of developments which take up id numbers 983 to 999.

I believe I have utilised a total id allocation of over 1000 units. Is there a limit or is it determined by the Id identifyer such as Germany type = 10500.

Your help would be appreciated.

Of course there's a limit (depending on the variable type used in the engine to store the ID), but it is a lot more then #999.

Thank you MartinBG... what is meant by (depending on the variable type used in the engine to store ID) As I am new to this and I see you have over 3000 posts, this would be easy for you however, a little more complicated for me. I understand how the game works, so if it is lot more than #999 how much more.

Thousands for sure (32000 as a minimum). Note that the actual ID has two components - type and ID, and it is enough to have only one of those unique in the game (so you can use the same ID range for every type without conflicts).

Thank you MartinBG... I appreciate your help. That does help me a lot.
