Upgrades

Upgrades are catalog objects, that modify other catalog entries for one player. As the name indicates, they are usually used for ugrading unit properities in game, but they can also be used by requirements. Upgrades can modify catalogs in a very limited way (only number fields, and not all of them).

Upgrades can be granted via triggers, or researched with the research ability. (There is no way to remove then with data editor, that is possible only with trigger.)

Types

Upgrades have no types, they are all Generic

Fields

• UI

This field sets the catalog changes. An upgrade can change several other catalog's (units, behaviors, effects, weapons...) fields (except for button, numeric fields only)
