removing the non-upgradable units

I kind of disagree with converting them to Tanks myself. I think it would be to overpowering to suddenly have a mass of them through upgrading. I've chosen Marines in my game.

If I am the first civ to get Motorized Transportation, intend to use this short-lived (at least in v1.17) advantage to attack a neighbouring civ, but cannot upgrade to tanks, I simply switch to tank production in my core cities, disband my rallied cavalry units there (at least one per city and turn) and rush-buy the lacking shields. This usually requires two or three turns of heavy micro-management, but the overall effect is the same as with upgradable cavalry: a sudden mass of tanks.

That is, the overall effect for the human player. The AI, while apparently capable of upgrading since v1.17, won't do the disband/rush-buy combo. Which makes my mass of tanks rather overpowering.

The is another problem with setting, say cavalry, to upgrade to tanks but not checking the 'upgrade' button in the editor.

Knights upgrade to cavalry and have 'upgrade' button enabled. Once you get motorized transportation, you can upgrade knights directly to tanks by hitting upgrade. Oh well, I agree with asleepatthewheel above - just show restraint. And let the AI have this one advantage, it comes nowhere near the reload advantage the human player has.
