Here is a list of all known hardcodes to prevent any more new modders having to ask "is it possible" posts. Not that I hate the people who make these posts just that the letters 'N' and 'O' are beginning to fade on my keyboard.
If you know anymore hardcodes that aren't here, share them. So the chances are that anything you dont see on here is possible.
HARDCODES:-
-Faction number (21 including rebels)
-Max unit number (240 on huge, 60 on Normal) + max 3 officers per unit
-Model Limit (250)
-Unit Limit (500)
-Building limit (I'm not too sure on this but I think that it's 150 or something)
-Walls must be in a complete ring. i.e no seaside towns.
-Must be 3 factions controlled by one super-faction. (senate and romans) (not anymore -SubRosa)
-Province Limit (199)
-Unit line of Sight
[Some of the following are temporarary or incomplete]
export_descr_ancillaries.txt

export_descr_buildings.txt
-Overall building tree number: Min ?, max 64. Experimentation. Extras CTD (error: "Settlement in region has not been given a core building. Any settlements above village level must have an appropriate core building! This settlement is level 1, and should have a level 0 core building.").
-Levels per building tree: Min 1, max 5. Assumption, experimentation. Extras ignored.
export_descr_character_trait.txt
-Levels per trait: Min 1, max 9. Assumption, experimentation.
-Points required for a threshold: Min 1, max ¡Ý 600. Assumption, experimentation.
-Points assignable per trigger: Min 0, max ¡Ý 100. Assumption, experimentation.
export_descr_unit.txt
-Overall unit number: Min ?, max 500. JeromeGrasdyke. Extras CTD?
-Units per faction: Min ?, max 100. Experimentation. Extras don't appear for custom battles, but otherwise function normally.
-Units buildable per city: Min 0, max 32. Default usage, experimentation. Extras CTD.
-Men per unit: Min 6, max 60. Experimentation. Extras CTD?
-Extras per unit: Min 2 (but 0 is okay as well), max ?. Experimentation.

-Missile range: Min 20 (at least for javelins), max special. Experimentation, experimentation. Every projectile seems to have a maximum range, perhaps based on velocity or something of the sort. If the range is set to a higher value than the projectile's max, the projectile won't reach that far.
