Having problems with the MediShell

[Ascarona]

Well i've completed many campaigns with and without cheats but now I have noticed something, whenever I try the create_unit "Paris" "Gendarmes" 3 9 3 3
I get 3 units of Gendarmes with full experience but only lvl 1 protection. Is that a maximum or something? Also without cheating, I get the best armor production facility in a city but some of my units still get lvl 1/2 or no protection at all. Am I doing something wrong here?

In Rome you could give all units three armor upgrades. In M2TW it depends what kind of armor the unit starts with. Spear militia can get three upgrades; padded, light mail and heavy mail. Gendarmes start with advanced plate which is the highest level around. The level six armory (royal armory) that upgrades to advanced plate is only useful for Milan, Venice and the Papal states.

So basically my Gendarmes already have the best armour and weapons in the game?

You could point it out like that
They just can't upgrade in armour (since the armour/weapon style of your unit changes in appearance when u upgrade)
