    People's expectations came from a post by Neutrino in the early days of Alpha. He said he was aiming for 100 units in the end unit pool. Unfortunately many people didn't realise we were including structures in that 100.
    Oh well, I hope the modding aspect is going to be as good as they say it is.

    You are living in a fantasy world. Those mods will be relegated to obscurity because nobody will play them. They are not desirable, because they will be a mess with badly designed units with overlapping roles. Furthermore, a high amount of units (100s..) will make the game inaccessible for new players that will be utterly confused why there would be 5 different types of tanks that all behave slightly differently. I don't think it adds interesting strategic choices to the game (frustrating/meaningless ones rather) This isn't a card game that would be served by a thousand subtly different cards.

    That said, they could introduce a few more units or work to spice up the existing ones, but that's really different from having hundreds of units.

    I think having 6 units basic land/air & 6 for adv land/air is a pretty good number. Anyways a lot of the units in supcom were the same unit basically just more powerful to make up the diff tech levels. Really the main units can be summed up into scout, tank, artillery, mobile missle launcher, bot, mobile AA for land. Hopefully we get very different units as far as strategy goes. We are pretty much at supcom numbers for everything..
