Give the child units and the 'child-child' units the 'coun' unit local
attribute. They should then 'count as' being part of the parent unit for
size purposes, which I believe is the effect you're looking for.

Create a conflict group that can have a maximum of 4 options taken, then
make every option you want to limit a member of that conflict group. As
soon as you reach the limit of 4, no more will be able to be taken.

I'm afraid not; but perhaps you're thinking of this in the wrong way. Why
not just let the user choose the size he wants the child unit to be?

Originally parent has child unit A. In child unit A there is option
called upgrade to Land Raider(I'm working on Epic Armageddon files
btw). Choosing that should replace child unit A(predator in this
case) to land raider. Name, stat's, options all.

Can that method be combined with limiting number of options as per
question #2?

Close to ideal working but not quite. Now problems:
a) bike unit needs to have var on unit special attribute on options.
How can I get bike unit start 5 strong...Now it start's at 1 but
that's not what it would need to be.
b) Reducing attack bike's(the child-child unit) doesn't increase
bikes by 1 as would be needed.
The problem is that unit is fixed sized but some of them(no
restriction on how many) may be upgraded to another unit.
Still. Closer than original version so thanks for that

You might be able to utilize the "rept" attribute. I'm not certain of what
you're trying to accomplish, but this would let you attach a variable
number of child units. If each child unit modified a hidden stat in the
parent unit, you could track the number of children within the parent via
that stat and use it accordingly.
Hope this helps,
Rob

This is easy to do if the option is in the parent unit. The "upgrade"
option would simply delete the standard option when selected.
Fully replacing one unit with another from the child is extremely difficult
- so much so that I don't want to even outline the process, since it will
(a) take a long time to explain and (b) probably be very confusing.
If you must do this from the child unit, the proper solution is to have the
"upgrade" option apply all the appropriate changes to the default unit to
convert it to the upgraded version. This includes applying all stat
adjustments, overriding the name, etc. It's a good bit more work to do it
this way, but it will give you the result you want.
Hope this helps,
Rob
