Quality of Life Suggestion – Automatically Select the Highest Available Unit Upgrades

Post by drleon »

I would like to suggest another small quality-of-life improvement for the unit purchase screen.

Currently, every newly purchased unit starts with all upgrade levels set to 0, even if much higher upgrade levels have already been researched.

For example, if I have already researched:

Advanced Tanks = Level 5
Anti-Air Defense = Level 3

every newly purchased tank still starts with all upgrades at Level 0. I then have to manually increase every upgrade again before confirming the purchase.

I would like to suggest that new units automatically use the highest researched level for every available upgrade by default.

Players who prefer lower upgrade levels could still reduce them manually before confirming the purchase.

Another possible solution would be to remember the last upgrade settings used for each unit type.

For example, if I purchase a tank with:

Advanced Tanks = 5
Anti-Air Defense = 3

the next tank purchase could automatically remember these values.

This would be an alternative to automatically selecting the highest researched upgrade levels and would also eliminate a large amount of repetitive clicking.

Either solution would significantly improve usability.

This would not change the game balance or mechanics. It would simply eliminate a large amount of repetitive clicking when purchasing many units.
Thank you for considering this suggestion.
