Hardcoded unit limit...
Searched around but couldn't find an answer to this question. Basically, I wanted to know which file is used by the game to determine how many units are in? As in, if I'm at the 500 unit limit and want to remove a unit to fit in another, which file do I need to edit, modeldb, EDU, both, or some other file?
Much thanks.

...actually - there could be a number of files you would have to edit - it depends on the unit you remove.
EDU, EDB, descr_strat, campaign_script, rebel_factions...etc...

As far as I can tell, the modeldb has nothing to do with the limit.
That wasn't the question. The question was: Which file is used to determine the number of units when considering the hardcoded limit for units? The answer is: the EDU.

I was responding to this:

Right. The EDU is the primary file to edit. Of course, the unit would also need to be removed from any campaign that it is in.

wouldn't it be kind of a messy mod if you had leftover info from deleted units, I think it's best if all info about the unit is deleted from everwhere(the models(if not used by another unit), EDB entry, EDU entry, descriptions, modeldb etc.

Yes, you would get a CTD unless that unit was erased from every file it was mentioned (well...except for the modeldb).
