3.1: Upgrading Units | [Back to the WarGuide]
In Warcraft2 you could upgrade weapons, but why can't you in Total Annihilation? You can. You can upgrade any unit to where it has better accuracy and is more powerful. This is what you do: Build something that is really cheap and build a lot of them like radar towers, PeeWees, or metal makers. Then, as you create your units you want to upgrade, have them destroy the smaller units. A unit who has five kills becomes a Veteran and is more powerful and accurate. For every increment of five, the unit becomes even more powerful accurate. This small upgrade can give you the winning edge in a large battle. Sure you have to destroy your own stuff, but upgrades always cost something don't they? These Fidos are being upgraded by shooting friendly metal makers. Be sure though to turn off the metal makers beforehand, or you will wind up losing a lot of energy!
