	SLIC question...can I use it to allow for upgrading units? Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

I was looking through the SLIC code and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on what way to approach upgrading units once they become obsolete or possibly at least cashing them in for gold or resources.

You can code unit upgrading in SLIC but it would not be easy. The code would be simple but very very very long. I guess it would go something like (in pseudocode):

code:

trigger on gaining advance
	if advance is bronze working
		loop through all units
			if warrior, change to phalanx
	if advance is ...
		loop through all units
	.
	.
	.

Thanks so much for your help. Yes, I think I would like to try this and see if I can make an upgrade script of sorts. I got the idea from the powerslic mod I downloaded where every time a settler moves through a city it asks if you want to add the settler to the city POP. I was thinking I could do something similar if the unit is obsolete in asking if you want to upgrade the unit if an upgrade is available.

Well, I am in the middle of writing my script to do automatic unit upgrades. So far I am only testing it with one unit to see how it goes, then I will expand it to all the units with upgrade options. I want to make sure it works in multiplayer and also for the AI. Thanks again for your help.

I don't know if it can be of any help but there is already an Update slic file for the CtP2 Cradle mod and I am currently working on a conversion to the CtP2 Super Apolyton Pack 2.
