To baassee,
Are you really in? oO I hope, that's not a joke.
To 67chrome,
What does "20 upgrades" mean? Shall the weapon upgrades for both melee and ranged units ( 2 x 3 ) and defense upgrades for them ( 2 x 3 ) count as 6+6=12? Or they just stand for 4 upgrades? I hope, the last one statement is true.
three levels of a weapon upgrade count as 1 upgrade for this. You shouldn't use that many upgrades though, 20 is just the average amount of upgrades the melee races have (undead only have 18). If you try comming up with 20 upgrades for the sake of maximizing the upgrade potential, your race will look really cluttered and like a mess. This is more for a little freedom, in case someone had an idea that needed a good deal of upgrades.
Upgrades can be identified by the upgrade tab in the object editor. Everything in there is an upgrade. Anything that is not, is not.
I have another question guys. Do you edit another regular races buildings or like for example, copy a farm and then paste it and edit the farm for your pesonal race?
Considering how difficult it is to correctly balance units in WC3, doing this will give your units a more balanced feel. I'd just recommend playing with the gold/lumber/time/hp/damage of the unit a little, so that it seems more unique. But ya, if you want to create new unit, I'd recommend making the base unit your getting all the stats from a unit that does essentially the same thing.
