    Default armor rating Q, and other stuff

    1. Did anyone really have cannons on top of elephants?....it looks fake to me.
    2. Is wedge form that good, I thought in RTW it wasn't anything special.

    3. Armor ratings. I have upgraded my castle to the max Armor rating, and I don't see the armor rating changing color or anything on my troops. (viking axeman) How do i know they are using the top armor....it doesn't say anything about the armor they have on...and the defense/armor rating never goes up..!! so whats up with that...

    Not all units can get full armour upgrades, many are limited to 1 or 2 so you will only see the bronze or silver shield armour upgrade symbol on their small unit card.

    Just to be sure, do you mean 1 or 2 limit per faction or the entire game?

    Lusted, how do I know what their armor limit is? I wasted so many turns thinking I could upgrade these axeman for nothing.

    You can see it on the unit descripition when you click on the card
    it shows the next possible armor upgrade
    works only on recruited units not in the recruiting screen
    You ask for steak, I bring you fish. You say that you think steak is better than fish. I say that fish is much more popular than steak so obviously it's better. You say that no matter how good the fish is it can't be better at being steak than the actual steak we used to serve. I say that's just your perception and you're entitled to it but you should accept that fish is the future and that's good. You begin to say something but I stab you in the eye with a fork and run into the kitchen.

    In campaign there's also a 'next upgrade' field in the unit description.

    Pike and Halberd (The most general issue ones. Pike or halberd militias) can go to gold.

    Militas as mentioned can go to silver. I think longbowmen can too.

    I think the general thought is that the higher up a unit's base armor is, the less upgrades they can go to. Someone in light mail or leather can upgrade more than someone in full or half plate/

    1. From what I understand, it was attempted a couple of times with poor results.

    2. I don't ever use wedge, but I assume that it would be pretty good hitting a shiltron (just a guess)

    3. Already been answered.
