Most easiest way is: Putting your inf on raze. Dropping on an Enemy Building. Raze it to the ground and pick the inf back up again.

unless it's changed, I thought purposely training inf that way was considered an exploit.....but that could be different now.

It's also possible to get inf leveled by defending planets that an enemy is trying to capture, but that's hit and miss and it's often the hardened and elites that die first in the next wave of enemy troops.

When you cap a planet sometimes they level up too.
Also, anyone know how much better elites and hardened are than vets and greens? Always wondered the numbers behind that.

1 Elite Heavy Infantry can kill 6 Green Heavy Infantry, while all six green heavy inf attack at the same time. Elites are like super heroes. A transport full of Elites can easily capture any planet in a single drop.

There should be buildings that train infantry up to elite, to be used along with barracks. Call them academies or something. If none on a planet then infantry stay at green. If there's 1 then they can become vets like now. If 2 then they can become hardened, and if 3 they can become elites. It should be a fairly slow process for greens to upgrade to elites.
Downside is you'd need the free building space, workers and power, and they should use a considerable amount of workers. Not as much as a shipyard but at least 10.

Inf are promoted based on experience (which is derived from how many attacks they do). Each inf attacks once every 5 seconds and each attack gives 5 experience. Inf are promoted to Veteran at 26 xp, Hardened at 51, and Elite at 91. XP maxes out at 100. They all have the same health (400 for Inf, 800 for Heavy Inf) and all gain 10 health every 5 seconds (regardless of their status). Each attack is a random number between 25 and 100 for Infantry and 38 and 150 for Heavy Infantry, PLUS their individual XP.
The random number throws off easy calculations of how much more powerful one is than the other, but here's a quick table of possibilities:
green infantry - 25 to 125 damage
elite infantry - 120 to 200 damage
green heavy inf - 38 to 175 damage
elite heavy inf - 133 to 250 damage [ This Message was edited by: Shigernafy on 2010-06-02 22:01 ]

Elite infantry also have stronger livers.

elite heavy infantry are the only infantry certified to use turret-mounted cows.
