While there are often many standard armor levels, it seems you cannot set them as options in the custom battle menu. They tend to stay pretty low...is that a function of the EDU? I know that you can set the availability of units from eras that way or whether they show up at all.

If I understand correctly, you want more armor and weapon upgrade for a unit?

For weapon, you can have only 1 level of weapon upgrade, it's hardcoded.

For armor on the other hand, you can add more level

What's in red is the line that interest us, there's two values, therefore you can upgrade the unit once (since the first value is the base model).

You want more? Then you will need to do this

Now this unit will have up to three level of armor upgrade in custom battles (as well on campaign). The value range between 0 to 6. It's the same value as the one in the blacksmith building.

Hope I've answered the question.

Thanks my friend, I don't want to change the armor upgrades in the EDU, just wanted the ability to raise the armor levels in the custom battles only. Well that's too bad.

If I understand this now, for example:
armour_ug_levels 3, 4
armour_ug_models Ridire, Ridire_ug1

from the Rule Britannia mod, has an upgrade from level 3 to 4 and this means according to the EDB:
levels leather_tanner blacksmith armourer heavy_armourer plate_armourer gothic_armourer

There are six levels and the Ridire begin with whatever kind of armour is provided by a armourer and upgraded to a heavy armourer, so I guess the one upgrade would give them the armour of 4 in the custom battles. Yes?

If that is correct, I understand it more. I always wondered why you couldn't give as many upgrades as you desired in the custom battles. Now it seems to make sense as the battle models must be limited unless someone has gone through and assigned six types of armour for each unit.

Correct, the Custom battles doesn't take into account the level of blacksmith required, if you have 4 values (one as the base model), then in the custom battle, that unit will have up to three armor upgrade
