How do i upgrade the units?

[Guest gotnho]

As i play the game i saw units getting "promoted" (those yellow thing on their head). I read throught some messages and i think that when a unit get 3 of those that unit can get upgrade or something. I'm i right? If i'm right where do i bring the unit to get them upgrade? Can someone tell me more about those yellow thing since i'm a newbie to dune. Thanks in advance.

Those bars are experience points...

if that unit destroys a certain amount of enemy units (usually calculated by cost e.g. 1 Sonic Tank gives same exp. as 15 Fremen)

You may not upgrade these units as it is automatic

[themurl]

But if you are the atreides and you get a unit with 3 bars you can put it in your barracks and the units of that type that you train will already have one bar, if you put another one in it will bwcome 2 bars and another one for 3 bars

[vidiware]

atreides specs.

Very useless

but when have the ability to use its damn good...

Stealth snipers... and Light infantry arre REally Heavy

I've posted some time ago the entire list of all new advances of getting experienced.

I copied it from the rules.txt

1 more thing soulreaver, ONLY 3rd level veteran atreides INFANTRY can be used to upgrade. not subhouse with atreides or atreides vehicles

[exatreide]

best way to get elite inf is to train a group of about 15 of them.then to go out there and atack las tanks ect.

I dun think the more you put in, the more bars there'll be.

[Desert_Eagle25]

He's right mech. Try it sometime. :)

[Timenn]

Yes, 1 elite = 1 bar, 2 elite = 2 bars, and 3 elites (max) = 3 bars

[Devastator_Mech]

So if you put 3 elite snipers in, every sniper you build would have 3 bars!! and be cloaked already??!!!

[Timenn]

Yes :) That makes the advantage of House Atreides

[Devastator_Mech]

Except my Fremens, all my infantries died before they reach level 2 or 3, so i'll rarely recieve this advantage.

[Timenn]

It ONLY counts for Atreides UNITS. So also if you are Harkonnen and you capture an Atreides Barracks, and you get elite Atreides units. You can upgrade the Atreides Barracks

[Devastator_Mech]

I know, that means even though it is an advantage, you'll only recieve this in long games, and that MUST be VERY long too!!!

[Navaros]

upgrading units is a useless feature because you are NEVER gonna be able to do it an any online game unless you have already won the game anyhow.

i have played thousands of online Emperor games, and not once in any of those games did I ever had the opportunity to send Inf back unless my enemy was already dead anyways. in which case, sending Inf back to the barracks is a waste of time and a useless thing to do.

you can NOT send Inf back unless it is a LEVEL 3 veteran. and once you put in the LEVEL 3 veteran, you only get LEVEL 1's back out. which makes a totally useless feature of Emperor gameplay into an ABYSMALLY USELESS feature of Emperor gameplay

[Timenn]

Maybe it's useless for online, but I found it very useful with campaign. Especially on missions where they attack you as insane (homeplanet + hard campaign missions) Deploy some Kindjal behind the first line. And mostly they got the last shots. And that will make them veteran very quickly. This counts also for snipers

[nemafakei]

By the way, shooting worms with snipers is good for upgrading them (sorry, Timenn). Snipers are powerful vs worms, becaus worms have flesh for armour.

[Devastator_Mech]

Infact your right. I once had an infantry war online, i grouped the Atriedies sniper, Fremen Warrior and the Imperial Sardaukar as a group. My foe controlled a worm and came towards my group, thought the group is dead for sure so i just lefted it there, but the Snipers and Fremens killed it in two salvoes from long range !!

[IxianMace]

Flame Tanks, ADPS, Chemical Troopers, and any unit that can kill infantry quickly are pretty effective against worms.

[ken124578]

umm... no, they'll be eaten if they're gonna face him 1 on 1

[Devastator_Mech]

Obviously man!! No ground unit could kill a worm in 1v1.

[IxianMace]

Notice that all the units are in plural form. Of course they would not vs a worm 1 vs 1!! LOL!! ;D But the ADP(s) would have no problem.

[Devastator_Mech]

Absolutely, but i'll say it has a problem in following it when a worm travels at full speed !!
