I did as you wrote, and this is what I got =)


Well, never mind, the previous version was quite good. It provides quick access to level 1 archers, quick access to level 2 crossbowmen, and quick access to level 3 snipers. And the rest can be quickly upgraded in the town menu.

An important nuance is that for two Tier 2 upgrades, the upgrades must be recorded in a different order. For one, the Tier 2 paired upgrade comes first, followed by the Tier 3 upgrade. And for the other, it's the opposite: the Tier 3 upgrade comes first, followed by the Tier 2 paired upgrade. That's all there is to it.

Here's the red and yellow version... link.

No, this is for crossbowmen/archers...

Yes, it was indeed important =)
It worked. But this option also has one drawback. Now, both Tier 3 units are in the recruitment window. But before, when upgrading, Tier 2 upgrade was always on the left, and Tier 3 upgrade was always on the right. Now, for some, Tier 2 upgrade/downgrade is on one side, and for others, it's on the other side. It's not very convenient, but I guess you can get used to it.
So, there are two options: the first preserves the convenient upgrade/downgrade, and the second displays both Tier 3 units in their respective slots in the recruitment window.

Yes, there is this nuance. But in my opinion, it's still better than not having the creature in the recruitment menu.

If it's a matter of principle, you can do it using a dummy creature.
For the second-tier creatures, record the second-tier upgrade first, then the third-tier upgrade.
For the third-tier creatures, record a basic dummy creature, and you can write nothing in their upgrades. In the dummy creature, specify both third-tier upgrades.
Then everything will work. The creatures will be displayed in the recruitment window.
And in retraining, they will be in the correct order.
The only downside is that it takes up an extra creature slot. But, as I mentioned above, you won't use all 999 anyway.

In my opinion, the order in retraining doesn't matter; the main thing is that they are displayed in the recruitment menu.

Seems like it. It looks like the correct town has already been assigned to these upgrades. Otherwise, the creature symbol on the map would be different.

I still remember. I wanted to remind you about the game Heroes of Might and Magic Online, or rather, about the unit icons from that game. In this game, rendered models from Heroes of Might and Magic V and VI were used, but the icons were redrawn. And sometimes they look really cool. Perhaps something from them will be useful for your mod. Either for simple variety, or maybe it will provide a visual idea for a unit. I'll share some of the most interesting ones in my opinion, and if you need more, you can search for them online.
