I like to read unit descriptions a lot. Often, I read about bronze and iron used in making weaponry, fire hardened javelins etc.
Wouldnt it be nice and realistic to simulate a gradual improvement in armament (bronze to iron, iron to steel etc) of some of the troops by giving them weapon upgrades via reforms? Units that dont get removed or replaced from the recruitment roster, ofc. If some lower quality units get weapon upgrades, it could give them a better chance against increasingly better armored enemies.
Changes in warfare are already being done (done well, I might add). New units replace old ones and have better stats altogether, some new types show in factional rosters, others get armor upgrades. Why not weapon upgrades too?
