How we can create a Unit Upgrade Tree UI mod?

[FlammieJerynZ]

Hi everybody! It's Flammie, I'm new and I hope you all be okay.
I want to create an "Upgrade Unit Tree" UI mod for the upgrade lines from the Units ingame, very possibly in a Lua format, and like a visible list with their respective icons (kinda the Promotion Tree mod by Whoward69, but with Units and their future upgrades instead), also can be dynamically supported or compatible for Vox Populi, Renaissance Era Revised, Future Worlds and many other great mods that add new Units. Maybe you understand me in this idea, you know... For example: Warrior -> Swordsman -> Longswordsman -> Musketman, and so on, in a visual representation in the game.
Any ideas to make this possible? I think Lua may be useful to make this task in the UI and his functions, while Sql or/and Xml can be useful for the game texts or defines too...
Thank you for everything, I'll wait for your replies, and I hope you have a great day or night!
Best wishes!

Yes this one was always a favorite. Not sure why only the promotion tree was included in game and not this as well.

UI - Upgrade Tree

WHoward69's UI - Upgrade Tree mod, updated to work with EUI as well as the unmodified game. It is now accessed via this new button in the diploCorner: If a unit is selected when the button is clicked, it will show the upgrade tree for that...
