War In Greece problems

This map, War In Greece is a great game to play. But there are some problems with it, it tends to drop people in the middle of the game whenever theres a bunch of units. Is there a way to fix this? I did not create this map but I would love to fix this irritating problem.

Some things that happen when this occurs is:
  • Persia (dark black) usually drops first, but sometimes athens (blue) drops first
  • sometimes, more then 2 players are dropped
  • always happens when there is a bunch of units on the map
  • host is never dropped

Also, the creator left this message in the map as well
Quote
<04>Due to the current incapacities of the <0E>StarCraft <06>Brood War <04>unit
<04>placement format, it is advisable to- when you no longer recognize viable spawning ground for units-
<04>to halt unit production until the respective area(s) have been sufficiently cleared of units.

<06>Failure to do so puts undesirable strain on Brood War's software interface, causing the player
<06>to DROP FROM THE GAME.

I believe that statement is false, no one has ever blocked the spawns before whenever i play this.

So my question, is there a solution to this problem?

Set a unit limit; if there is a certain number of units on the map, kill some. A possibility is that it has nothing to do with number of units on the map. It could be something else entirely that coincides with the large number of units, so double check the triggers.

i was thinking the same thing, but i want to use that as a last resort. would switches have anything to do with it? Because the only odd trigger i see in the map is "Persian Income" which uses a switch.

EDIT: actually most of this map uses switches, would reverting them to death counts help?

Switches don't cause drops. If anything it's the actions associated with switches and that would probably stay unaffected would you replace them with dcs.

the actions with the switches are money related, like modifying the minerals, and then setting the switches back
