subfactions as the result of upgrades Options

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

See what can and can't be implemented (just to tell you now, you cannot have an upgrade as a prerequisite, at least not in TS).

I took this for granted for a long time until I tested it a moment ago for myself and it worked.
I was able to make a building available as soon as i placed down the GAPOWRUP upgrade just with Prerequisite=GAPOWRUP.

So this means that we could have a conyard with 1 upgrade that defines which subfaction we want to use.
e.g.
Nod Conyard has Nod upgrade or Cabal upgrade
GDI Conyard has GDI upgrade or Forgotten upgrade

The AI won't use this, but online games can use this for a much bigger variety of games. And this is imo the best solution to make multiple sides work with the limited possibilities of TS.

What if he undeploys and redeploys his Conyard? Normally the building list gets reset, i mean the game looses all building options except those you have the correct prerequisite building for.

I wonder if buildings that are upgraded can be undeployed at all..

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

yes, upgraded buildings can be undeployed. They just sell the upgrade if undeployed.
But i wonder how you can undeploy your conyard at all. I can't undeploy my conyard in campaign as well as in multiplayer mode.
