ranking

[corey8084]

What is the purpose behind the ranks of the units? Do the higher ranks increase the stats of that unit in any way? I was just curious because I have put a lot of effort to keep eight units alive from mission one to mission five I believe and have six of them to the elite rank. What good is the rank? Is there a list of the ranks and the experience required to reach that rank?

So other than kill count, it amounts to nothing?

Increase in accuracy, decrease in accuracy of anything trying to hit you. I don't remember if there are any other effects, but there probably are.

It has been a while since I've looked at the code but I believe that you also take less damage - proportional to your rank.

Furthermore it is important to point out that when a unit is assigned to a commander that the rank it assumes is that of MAX(unit rank, commander rank) - so if your commander is of a very high rank then all of the units assigned to it also assume that rank.

I am hoping in the future to make the rank of commanders perpetual, such that when a commander dies its rank is saved and assigned to the next commander that is built. This should serve to make them more useful both in campaign and multi-player games.

I just went and looked through the source to create this table. For each rank, you get +5% movement speed and accuracy, and you reduce enemy attacks' accuracy by 5% and damage by 6%.

And it's MAX(unit rank, commander rank + 1)

Depends, in multiplayer it is, but in single player it is MAX(unit rank, commander rank).

Should also be noted that in multiplayer games commanders rank up twice as quickly as in single player games.

Ok, thank you. I was about willing to sacrifice my high ranked if all they were good for was looks. thank you
