help with the russians

can you upgrade from "knight" to "cosak" or not???? sometimes you can upgrade to your UU, sometimes you can't? Is there a list somewhere which contains this information for all civs??

Yes you can. UU:s can be upgraded if the regular unit they replace also can be upgraded. This means that civs with replaced Swordsmen (Roman Legions and Persian Immortals) can't be upgraded.

afaik, you can't upgrade a horseman to a war elephant (indians) even though, the war elephant can be upgrade to cavalry......

I'm not really sure, however there is one way to test it

Simply create a scenario with a russian knight. You be the russians and try to upgrade him. If it works, great

if not...then...You can use the editor to put it in!

You'll need 1 city with barracks and some money for the upgrade to work.

In one of my first games I was pissed because I couldn't upgrade my russian knights to cossack even if I were supposed to according to the civilopedia. Not knowing better I just started building cossacks and disbanded my old knights. Later I found that a patch(one of the early ones) corrected this problem. I still had an old save game so I could test it and it worked just fine.

Check your patch level. 1.29f is the latest civ3 patch.

unfortunately bought the german version and there's no 1.29f patch......although this patch might be included in the PTW. Is this correct?

1.21f is the latest german patch. Try that one first. If I remember correctly that will correct the problem.

I don't have PTW but from what I've read here some things are fixed from the beginning while others still need patching.

AFAIK all the unit upgrades are OK in my (European) 1.14 PTW.
