	Levels of Veteran Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

In Civ2, units that were veterans had 50% added to their attack strength

How about having levels of Veteran or a Veteran Percentage bonus that rises with each combat victory

After winning in a battle, a units becomes, say, a "Veteran 15" which means that its attacks are now 15% stronger
This rating then rises further next time it wins in battle to, say "Veteran 25" which, you guessed it, raises its attack strength by 25%
This keeps going until it hits 50%

Barracks could create units at level 25 but those units would have to have won in combat several times to reach the maximum bonus

Thus, armys that are returning from war are more battle hardened than when they left, regardless of how good their training intitially was

Think about the German army prior to WW2 and how much it benefitted from its "trial run" in the spanish civil war.

I havent played smac, so I wouldnt know if it was in or not.............

But levels of veterans make a lot of sense and I hope it is implemented in Civ 3..

	Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Good idea, it would add a lot of fun, because you would take care of your elite troops more.

This is a great idea for a TBS game like civ. It adds a whole new dimension to military strategy. I DEFINATELY want this in.
