Hi, I'm trying my hand at an RPG called necropolis 2099. It's basically zombies + future technology etc. etc.

Anywho, I wanted to know if there was a way to force the computer to upgrade its units after it suffers X amount of deaths.
I think it would be pretty cool if that could be implemented. Game systems like FFT that have the monsters level up along with your character are a lot of fun. So yeah, if anyone has any suggestions, let me know.

You'll never get a computer to upgrade past 3. Here's the info on how to make at least that work:

Usually max. upgrades of 3 is not enough, so it's best to use multiple computers with different levels of upgrades.
