I couldn't help but notice this guy never did the math. 15 units with 4 configurations each makes 60 configurations? Shouldn't that be 4^15 = 2^30 ~ 1000 000 000 ? Or can the upgrades be applied at the same thime? Cause that 'd be (2^4)^15 = 2^60 ~ 1000 000 000 000 000 000 combinations. Some help with this please!

No the math is correct, the wording might not be. Each type of unit can have 4 upgrades. With 15 different types of units the maximum number of upgrades you can apply to all the different units in your game is 60.

So in that case, we do have over 1000 000 000 000 000 000 combinations then. Thanks for your help.

With devs talking about all possible combinations, one learns to compare the logarithmic value. lg(1000000000000000000) = 60 yields a better understanding in the number of choices a player can make.
I love math!

So, uhm, do you have a link to this article? That'd be neat.
