Can you make different cappabilities for the different upgrades, and do you list all the upgrades in the levels line?

Can you make different cappabilities for the different upgrades, and do you list all the upgrades in the levels line?

Yes to both.

Example, an ebil barracks complex where the ebil player can build either orc or human barracks. The first level is common to both and could have capabilities of its own. After this level the player could either build an orc barracks upgradeable to an uruk barracks *or* a human_barracks upgradeable to a human_elite_barracks, each barracks having its own capabilities.

You can have up to nine buildings in a complex so in this example you could in theory have 4 levels of barracks for each path plus the base building or alternatively 4 seperate types of barracks with 2 levels each etc. The capabilities for each building level can be any of the allowable ones and not limited to troop recruitment.

(nb example code is stripped down a bit, construction time etc left out, but hopefully makes the principle clear.)
