Unit veterancy (Tiberium)

Unit Veterancy

Units can earn verterancy ranks, and thereby acheive a bonus, that increase thier hitpoints and attack damage - and at heroric level give them some special abbilities. These ranks can be achieved in two ways: either by attacking enemy units and structures. Each time they successfully defeats an enemy unit they gain experience. The other way is to pick up suply crates, that are scattered around on the map. Some of these crates are veterancy crates that give your units XP and will increase the veterancy of all nearby units (in a very small radius) by one level when opened. When a unit accumulates enough experience, it gets promoted to a new veterancy level. Each veterancy level has a special icon, that show what level the units have. There are veterancy levels for each faction, and each veterancy level grants improved performance capabilities:

These icons range from one to three stribes - and finally a golden star at heroric.

Veteran units inflict more damage and are more resistant to damage compared with non-veteran units.

Elite units inflict more damage and are more resistant to damage compared with veteran units.

Heroic units inflict more damage and are more resistant to damage compared with elite units, and also attack more quickly, automatically heal themselves, and fire red tracers. finally heroric unit have a special looking fire grafic, that normal units don't have.
