  • Units Extended unit experience

    #1
    Description:
    Most RTS games have some sort of unit experience feature allready. But it usually caps at max 3 levels of veteranity. It would be great to be able to get more experience to the units and get real tough veteran units by leveling them up. Perhaps even allowing the to carry veteran equipment, looted enemy weapons etc. How about transfering a squad of your veterans to the next mission?

    Positive Effect:
    Keeping units alive would actually be usefull when they would eet stronger by every battle (if healed) and this could make Zerg-rush tactic less usefull. Would give something more to grind for. Veteran units might make the less powerfull units more usefull with time.

    Negative Effect:
    Too high leveled units might be difficult to balance and become overpowered. Trying to keep units alive to gain them experience might slow games down when everyone would be afraid to get their veteran units killed.

    I could go either way. But mainly no because striving to keep that one vereran infantry who has 5 health alive and kill something so it can be heoric and self heal in cnc is just anoying.

      it might grow annoying to some degree, go ask cnc4 players who faced heroic units out there. And don't even get me started with the reck combo XD

        Units in C&C are so disposable, I'm not sure that a leveled up unit would really be worth it unless it somehow became super powerful or something.

          I think that there should be a 4th rank after Heroic but anything more than that really isn't necessary.

          Edit: Something really old I found from my mod.
