i always comment on this unit. i finally got an event, after many turns of nothing. i thought muskets or portable watch was the last scripted event, but there's a wheellock event and unnamed "metallurgy advances" event. i think it happened 1529 for me. oh and pike and shot too. everything hit all at once. now my blacksmiths have the renaissance three-quarter plate available finally.

i think there needs to be an in-between armor stage. it makes no sense that halberd men-at-arms, a lesser unit than regular halberds, has armor upgrades, but it took this long for halberds to get 1 upgrade. i only have about 60 turns left, the game is so over, and only now do they get armor. but i am happy to finally report halberds have upgrades
