XML.Entity.Traits.Transform

@@ +1 @@
+An entity with this attribute can be replaced with another entity under certain conditions. 
+
+This might be a siege weapon or mobile building packing or unpacking (with each being a separate entity), a structure being upgraded to more advanced version (such as from Town to City) and so forth.
+
+Upgrades can also be singular or global. The above examples only affect one entity, but a user could for example research a tech that replaces all instances of a certain entity with a more advanced version.
+
+= !NewEntity =
+''BRIEF DESCRIPTION ::'' This is the entity name of the replacement entity this entity will become when the pre-requisites for transformation are met.
+
+= Food =
+''BRIEF DESCRIPTION ::'' This much Food will be deducted from the player's Resource Pool when he upgrades this entity.
+
+= Ore =
+''BRIEF DESCRIPTION ::'' This much Ore will be deducted from the player's Resource Pool when he upgrades this entity.

+
+= Req =
+''BRIEF DESCRIPTION ::'' This attribute lists the IDs of the units, structures and techs that must be created/researched before this entity has the option to transform.
+
+Note that the string should support slashes (or whatever's easiest: ||, OR, or whatever) to indicate where only one of a set are required. eg: "fc/mt" means that the player needs to have built a Farm Centre or Military Centre.
+
+= Phase =
+''BRIEF DESCRIPTION ::'' This attribute states the Phase (Village/Town/City) that must be attained before this entity has the option to transform.
+
+Example:
+
+<Traits>
+// Village Centre can be upgraded to Town Centre by spending resources and time, and building certain structures.

+  <Transform
+      newentity="Town Centre"
+      food="100"
