Sorry if anyone already asked this but I did do a considerable amount of looking before posting. 
How do you make it so that when you do an upgrade, it adds more damage or defense to the unit than normal.
Example: I have a regular Terran Marine and I go to my Engineering Bay and upgrade his weapon. I go and look, and this has only added +1 to his attack. So basically the most damage you could ever do from upgrades would be +255 What if I want it to add, say, +5 for every upgrade? I couldn't figure out how to do this...
I believe the Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction RPG map uses this function. I can post it if anyone wants to look (I couldn't open it and check to see what he did, I think the map is protected).
If someone could let me know that'd be great. Thanks!

Change the bonus of the unit. If the bonus it 3 then every upgrade it will add 3 damage.

Oh wow is that what the bonus is for... I never knew that.
Okay thanks!
Geeze do I feel like a noob.

just to clear up one thing though: Units that attack 2 in 1 (i.e. Firebat, Zealot, Goliath, Wraith, etc) will always have bonus multiples of 2. So if for firebat bonus you put 2, you the upgrade will add 4.Report, edit, etc...Posted by phatdiddy on 2005-04-28 at 23:06:37
And you can't change the increase in armor. That's fixed at 1.

I was going to ask about how do you add more to armor so that each time you up you'd get more than 1 point.
Btw, i saw a map where the firebat, zealot, golaith, wraith didn't multiply by its attack bonus. It just increased by an addtional 4 and not any other multiples. So how do you set the bonus so it doesn't multiply? Do/Can you use fractions?

If you put 1 then it will upgrade 1 for each upgrade. Put in 2 and it upgrades 2 per upgrade etc. I am pretty sure it applies to all units.

you're not getting the point.
Zealot attack upgrade patterns (bonus set to 4):
No ups=27
1 up=31
2 up=35
3 up=38
4 up=42
but the max hit will multiply the damage by 2 because the zealot's have a max hit of 2.
So the zealot attack would look like this:
No ups=27
1 up=35
2 up=51
3 up=83
4 up= 124
oh and are you sure that you can set 2 on armor so that each upgrade will add 2 instead of 1?

only modding I think, you can change the armor.
But one armor is good enough.

Well what modding program do you use for that?
I want to set large unit armor to increase my more than 1x.
Preferably 2x or 3x.

This is a map making site. If you want to learn how to do mods I suggest you search google.

I'm not even sure if you can edit armor...
I suggest you go look at stormcoast's modding tutorial
