I have a great idea, but no idea how to do it. I was thinking could I make it possible to requirements of upgrading to a higher tier involve not by having an alter, but by your upkeep? in other words instead of tax, make it so u cant upgrade to tier2 until u hit Low upkeep, and likewise for tier 3 and high upkeep. I am not sure if that helped much so here is another way to explain it. In order to upgrade your great hall into a stronghold, you have to have at least 50 units. doesn't matter what unit they are. Just have to have at least 50. and for a fortress, you have to have 70 units! |

You could have it that to upgrade you GreatHall you need an upgrade called "Low Upkeep" or "50 Units". Then use triggers to detect when your upkeep hits LowUpkeep level or you have 50 units to give the player the upgrade. Hope this helps. |

The only possible problem is that after you reach 50 food, you will be able to upgrade even if you go below that much food again, because that upgrade cannot be unlearned... But I do not know if this could be dnoe any other way. |

I am aware of "Low Upkeep" and "High Upkeep". LOL I play the Ladder everyday. anyways Can you perhaps give e a trigger example to do this? Perhaps someother ppl have otherideas on how to do this? |

Yeah, but I don't want it to automatically upgrade it, I want it to be restricted, until u get 50, then u cant upgrade, if u get below 50 before u tell it to upgrade, it get restricted again. I dunno how to do that, But I do remember in war3 demo, u could not get the baldemaster, and the Tauren chieftain, cuz they were restricted. There is no editor in the Demo, but I did make a few add-ons for the demo to make a war3demo WE. SO i made a map, saved the restrictions on the hero, by editing them to have the alter as well, now if u notice, it will also have something else, that's the ability saying u have to have full retail version, perhaps there somehow a way to duplicate this into my way for the upkeep. Edit: I added the map to this post, so u can see the hidden requirement, Now i added the alter myself, but in front is the restriction, that if u open in the WE, its missing. also I added units to the map, all the humans stuff u see was all that in the editor, NE had only one thing, tree trent, and the rest were neutral, now if u notice also there was 2 units removed from the editor, the sea witch, and the murlock sorceror. I didn't add the orc stuff, cuz everything u find in the editor for ROC, was there. Pretty kool for a demo editor. |

The Greathall is not upgraded by triggers. To upgrade it to Stronghold you need to research an upgrade (called X). You cant actually research the upgrade, because triggers give it to you when you hit the 50 food limit. I think it is possilbe to downgrade an upgrade so you could downgrade X when food < 50 |
