Hello, this looks very interesting. How large can the maps be, and how many units could be supported?
There is no technical restriction to the size of the maps. Currently, maps are limited to about 18 tiles in width because that's how wide the content area is. I believe the largest map currently available is the 15x20 randomly-generated map.
You all probably know better than I do what the restriction is in FFT proper. Mega Tact probably supports larger maps even with the width limitation. (Maps wider than that can still be used; you just have to rotate them so that the smaller dimension is used as the width.)
As for units, there's no hard limit. Randomly-generated maps have four team slots with nine units each. If you used all four teams and max units, that'd be 36 units. Obviously, sprite limitations are not a concern, so you could have all of the Zodiac beasts and both Altima forms in the same battle. Most maps have fewer unit slots, though.
Theoretically, I could make a 15x50 map with capacity for 100 units on each team. That would be silly, though.
