Re-applying recruitment bonuses?

**Basket of Warm Kittens** · September 21, 2013, 11:14 AM

So as any player knows there are buildings trees that have recruitment bonuses for units, like +3% attack then +6% attack for the next upgrade

Now my question is, is this only a one-time thing? If you recruit a unit and he gets a +5% to morale, then you come back decades later when the building is upgraded and gives +15% morale to recruits, can this unit reap the benefits of this?

So far I've returned my best army back to the main military upgrade-city (Iceni capital) and saw no button or way to apply the new buffs to them. The one I wanted most was the ammunition buff for the slingers recruited, as I had built a level 3 woodworks (the industrial building that gives ranged bonuses),

IF not, future patch please? You can make it expensive if you want

you can't retrain units for those, as they aren't equipment. morale, attack, and defense increases only apply to units that is recruited in that province. weapons, shield, and armor can be upgraded at any time, it will cost your money though.

Sooo the only way to get top-stat units is to literally build everything and research everything beforehand?

Thanks to keeping a couple of legions and passive AI, I managed to tech up all the way to praetorian guard and armored legions along with lvl 4 training areas and weaponsmiths before unleashing them all on rome's enemies.

It was like watching adults fighting children. I never suffered more than 10% casualties even when facing 8000 enemies with my single legion - and they had ballista and high tier units too. A lot like watching transport ships trying to fight artillery ships.
