[SUGGESTION] Base troop types use upgradeable equipment

from Elemental Forums


I like the base troop types that each race has, however, I though it would be better if they were initially designed with the upgradeable equipment, so they stay relevent after you have upped your tech.

I obviously don't mean make every slot an upgradeable item, for example, the militia should only have one or two items of armour (using the upgradeable version).  However, the najaborn should probably have more (full set even).    Both examples were taken from the Umber's base unit designs.

If they wear it you can upgrade it. If the base unit doesnt wear it then you can't upgrade as there was nothing there to upgrade to begin with. follow the twisted logic?

Actually, I think the base units do automatically upgrade the equipment they wear.  There's a bug in the editor that when it shows them it just shows as though the latest equipment is picked.  So if you go in and just add an attribute (or put them on a horse), you end up with a unit that's stuck with old technology.  You have to change all the equipment to auto-upgrade and then change whatever else you want.

When designing a unit, Autoupgrade should be selected by default.
