	Therefore, in order to gain veterancy, a GI would have to destroy objects worth 200 * 3.0 + 1 == 601 credits for a promotion of one level. That could be, for example, more than six Conscripts, more than one Robot tank, or more than two Flak Troopers. The Conscript, however, only has to destroy ~~more than~~ 100 * 3.0 + 1 == 301 credits worth of shit to get promoted, meaning more than two GIs would be enough.

This flag determines how many times the own value in credits a unit must destroy in order to be promoted. It is based on the <tt>[[Cost]]=</tt> values of objects and a straight multiplier.
Note that this isn't limited to enemy objects. Civilian/Neutral as well as your very own objects count, too.

==Example==
The default setting for VeteranRatio is 3.0, the default price for a GI is 200 and the default price for a Conscript is 100.
Therefore, in order to gain veterancy, a GI would have to destroy objects worth 200 * 3.0 == 600 credits for a promotion of one level. That could be, for example, six Conscripts, one Robot tank, or two Flak Troopers. The Conscript, however, only has to destroy 100 * 3.0 == 300 credits worth of shit to get promoted, meaning two GIs would be enough.

As you'll surely recognize, this means two things:
#Destroying an expensive object with a cheap unit results in a very high chance of instant or very soon promotion
#Expensive units need to destroy a lot of stuff to get promoted (1 Prism Tank --> $1200 * 3.0 == $3600 == 36 Conscripts)

==Exceptions==
Objects flagged as <tt>[[DontScore]]=yes</tt> or <tt>[[Insignificant]]=yes</tt> do not count as kills, and therefore don't add to the total amount of credits destroyed by a unit. As such, they don't bring them closer to promotion, either.
