I remember that some ancient-old previous engine modification, either for YR or perhaps even for TS, included a feature that would cause units to transform into other units upon veterancy promotion.

For plotting and planning my mod, it would be helpful to know if such a feature has a chance of appearing in Ares, or if that is completely ruled out.
This post is not a request as such, just an inquiry.

That was NPatch for YR, TS hardly got such 'advance hacks' ever.

Anyway some work for unit transformation logic was attempted for ARES but to date it hasn't panned out given developmental issues and probably that feature is shelved for now. In any case, if that gets done(?), extending it to veterancy stuff might not be too difficult.

At least there is already a kind of transformation- Visceroids, available since 0.5 IIRC

There is another transformation ingame already which is TRUCKA ---> TRUCKB and TRUCKB ---> TRUCKA scripts.
