Yeah, go to that fileplanet TA link i gave you, they have patches for the ordinary game, all the CC units in a patch and a 17 meg zip with loads of other units (thirdparty) and a 500 unit per side per battle patch.

They've also got map downloads and a map editor.

Actually the unit limit for human on human games was always 500, this just lets you do it in Skirmish. It's very useful in combination with the code for more AI's and some form of massive mega map.

Unzipping the file into you TA directory is all that’s necessary

How do you get it into the TA directory? (sorry I'm being so dumb)

(My site, but not my patch. It just changes 2 or 4 bytes in the exe, cant remember which. If you host, the game will have the unit limit you set)

Also the get 10 slots in a skirmish game:
Press "Shift, 8, X" all at the same time. (you can chane it via some reg editing too)

What you really need to try is the Uber Hack patch. It fixes many of the game ballance issues as well as adding a few new weapons. It also comes with an Ai patch to fix the rather inept and STUPID Ai that came with the game. It also gives expanded capabilities to the AI. Combined with the 5000 unit patch, its insane.

Imaging fighting against an enemy who will nuke you in return and has so freaking many construction units that a 20 nuke strike only dents their base.

Some of the bug fixes include deck guns on the cruisers/destroyers, anti-nukes on the carriers, underwated Moho mines, fast assist and defense building units (Fark and Freaker now assist in construction or build purely defensive structures on their own).
