The lower-tech base game units will still be available to build at higher Tech level factories. I don't plan to "replace" them entirely, and there might even be situations where you'll have to use the cheaper lower-tech units over the higher-tech upgraded variants of said units.
I think what I'll do to help incentivize the production of my "evolved" units, so to say, without rendering the base game units completely obsolete, is to ensure that these units can be useful for a variety of team-based roles - especially since my mods are being designed with the intention of adding more variety to the meta of said team-based maps (DualGap, Millennium, etc.).
