Upgrade 'old' units

[W@Z]

I am quite new to the editor and am trying stuff out. I have created some custom upgrades for units (e.g. increases hitpoints). But the upgrades only take affect on NEWLY created units, not those I have already built. If I increase armour, for instance, the small 'upgrades' number that tells you how many upgrades have been done on the old unit will change (like from 3 to 4) but the actual armour will stay the same. Did I do something wrong??

Didn't get that one...

If the number of armor went from 3 to 4, then they have one more point of armor...However, it sounds like you're trying to change the armor TYPE?
To do that you want to add an effect to your upgrade:
Data - Effect 1 - Defense Type Change
Then add whatever you want the new armor to be...

I don't understand why it wouldn't be affecting old units as well as the new units, if they're the same type...That you might need someone brilliant like Conan, Acehart, Darg or Royoko to help you with i'm not at their level, but that's all the help i can offer...Hope it works!

by default upgrades affect all past and newly created unit-types they are supposed to effect. I suspect when editing your upgrade you have changed the field "stats - applies to all units" and set it to "true", which strangely enough does the opposite of what it says, and only applies upgrades to newly created units.
