    Start a game.

    Press Enter.

    Type: PointBreak

    Press Enter.

    => No food limit :)

    I quite like it actually, forces you to micro your units more and makes you think more about the situation,as losing 12 Footmen out of a 90 cap is a lot more annoying than losing 12 Zerglings out of a 200 one.

    a food limit of 90 is loads! To go over that is just madness.

    The 90 food limit is the whole point of the game, i.e. the use of heros with mirco managed units. So you'll just completely mess up the games balance.

    I actually don't like going above a food count of 40. It means that I have an upkeep on my troops. I like to band all of my troops together for my skirmishes and replace them if/when they die

    So says swiss, who gets whooped in Warcraft III :D

    Seriously, 90 is loads. If you're building a bigger army than that you'd be paying through your nose for it.

    60% tax on 70+ food consumption means I try to avoid going over it.

    I finished the game on medium without breaking it (intentionally, sometimes I lost track)

    70 allows for a crack squad of your best units, hero, magiks and ranged units with a 2nd artillery squad and a 3rd reserve squad (at 1/2 strength)

    basically what im saying is, 90 is fine
