Unit upgrading

[Shabbaman]

Like knights upgrade to cavalry, shouldn't knights upgrade to cossacks when playing russians? Now I'm stuck with all these knights...

Did I encounter a bug here? I know panzers upgrade to modern armor...

I think this was addresses in v1.17f patch. Previous to this patch, the Unique Unit for each civ was left out of the upgrade path.

You can never upgrade to a UU, only from one. Your civilization always has to build it's own UUs. The UUs are included in the upgrade path in the editor to allow continuation to more advanced units. In your situation, you will eventually be able to upgrade your Knights to Cavalry (provided you have the correct resource available).

Speed Bump,
You are not right. After 1.17 patch UU is definitly in the upgrade path. I play as Russian right know with 1.17 patch and I upgraded from knight to Cossak without any problem.

P.S. Albert, ask your mommy to teach you how to use a comb

My bad...I was speaking from my experience with older versions of the game. I was working on the game from the Infogrames end through v1.16 and then I started working here at Firaxis post v1.17 so I was unaware of the design change. Thanks for keeping me honest

They did miss some in 1.17f though. One that I know of was the American F15, it wasn't added to the upgrade path.
