Where are the upgrade costs of units coded?

Just curious.

I believe its their "Cost" (which is in hammers). When upgrading, the game translates the difference in cost between the Upgrading Unit and the New Unit into Gold.

well there is the BASE_UNIT_UPGRADE_COST and UNIT_UPGRADE_COST_PER_PRODUCTION defines in the globaldefines.xml

thats a good place to start

You can override in the the GameUtils python file (def getUpgradePriceOverride(self, argsList)):

		iPrice = gc.getDefineINT("BASE_UNIT_UPGRADE_COST")
		iPrice += (max(0, (pPlayer.getUnitProductionNeeded(iUnitTypeUpgrade) - pPlayer.getUnitProductionNeeded(pUnit.getUnitType()))) * gc.getDefineINT("UNIT_UPGRADE_COST_PER_PRODUCTION"))

		if ((not pPlayer.isHuman()) and (not pPlayer.isBarbarian())):
			pHandicapInfo = gc.getHandicapInfo(gc.getGame().getHandicapType())
			iPrice = iPrice * pHandicapInfo.getAIUnitUpgradePercent() / 100
			iPrice = iPrice * max(0, ((pHandicapInfo.getAIPerEraModifier() * pPlayer.getCurrentEra()) + 100)) / 100

		iPrice = iPrice - ((iPrice * pUnit.getUpgradeDiscount()) / 100)

Would be the python equivalent of the SDK upgrade price code.

The above is how Tsentom made the Leonardo's Worksop World Wonder. Nice wonder by the way, thanks for making it available, it's made it's way into WolfRev

Thanks; I'll fiddle with it when I get the chance!
