I've gotten around six hundred units on a map with no scenery or scripting. When you go over though, some units randomly don't show up at the start of the level. With the latest version of Myth (1.4.4 I think) you can fit even more levels. This thread might be more appropriate at playmyth.net where you can also download the latest version of Myth II.

: I'm one of those people that loves epic battles in Myth
: 2- hundreds of people fighting in exotic locations.
: Unfortunately, whenever I put a large amount of units
: on a map, I get some errors. Some "Overflow"
: messages and such.
: 1. Are you guys interested in EPIC battles?
: 2. I have made many HUGE maps that can support such epic
: battles.
: 3. If you ARE interested in hundreds of people VS
: hundreds on Multiplayer OR Single-Player, then it is
: imperative to tell me how to override the
: "Overflow" messages, so such a feat is
: possible.
