Some conclusion after have spoke with TWI members:

1 - sure the possibility to have more units will be great for all the people
2 - Commander is worried about the game performance; with many units will not have a overload of PC resources?
3 - Harald suggest no set a number limit, because in this mode also with high money level the armies with no-elite units will have the possibility to use the numeric superiority against elite only armiies
4 - Someone (me too) is worried about the battle interface; with many units the game icons cover a good part of battlefield. A HUD restyle will be necessary (overall for no limits possibility)
5 - Britannicus suggest a HUD like Men of War style with the laterial icons and scrolling.

Not so strongly

3 - Harald suggest no set a number limit, because in this mode also with high money level the armies with no-elite units will have the possibility to use the numeric superiority against elite only armiies
Having 45000 you will not type more than 40 groups, from here is limit

4 - Someone (me too) is worried about the battle interface; with many units the game icons cover a good part of battlefield. A HUD restyle will be necessary (overall for no limits possibility)
It can be solved simple pressing of the button Alt+M ;)
5 - Britannicus suggest a HUD like Men of War style with the laterial icons and scrolling.
I too offered scrolling for 17" monitors :)

I have forgot the money limit is 45000 (always played with 15000). The possiblity to set manually the money will be good (also if the maximum will remain 45000).

Yes, but so you lost the icons still you don't press two time again ALT+M; a more rapid system for make them reappears will be a optimum.

I have a 19", I hope also for this category :)

I play only with HUD, but i proposed to update HUD if UG will do it - players can to play only with HUD without icons of groups.

Strictly regulated resources are made not casually, and for balance, believe were tried also other quantity of money.
