One thing I'd like to see is the increased starting veterency from building upgrades replaced with something else. It would be nice if veterency could only be achieved through battles. This would mean battle hardened armies would have properly earned their improved experience.

The question would then be what to replace veterency with to make building upgrades still worth their while?

Here's a few ideas as to what building upgrades could do over and above reducing recruitment time:

  • Increased rate veterency is acquired, so they level up quicker.
  • Reduced cost and or upkeep of units.
  • Increased replenishment rate within province.
  • If numbers of units were more limited, then upgrades could increase this number...


Any takers? Any other ideas?
