I'm playing the campaign as the English and using the 1453 fix. I now own England, France, the Lowlands and Spain. However, I would like to upgrade my armies.

So here a few questions.

1. if every province is upgraded to the max, does every province create a unit of the same quality if they create the same type of unit? E.g. I create Chivalric men at arms, does a unit of this type equal the same quality as an exactly the same unit but build in another province but ignoring the valour that some provinces add?

2. which provinces create the best chivalric men at arms, chivalric knights and chivalric spear infantry? And which provinces create the best longbow men?

I'm trying to figure out if there is a diffirence between provinces when creating units when they all are upgraded to the max and ignoring valour bonus.

My armies consist of men at arms, heavy spear infantry (the yellow/gold ones), the big knight cavalry (chivalric knights?) and longbow units.

I upgraded so far that I want to get rid of weaker units and build them again but with better quality.

regards,

I'm not sure what you mean by valour bonuses. You referring to the valour bonus of things like gothic knights produced in Saxony?

Maybe someone else can answer you better than I could.

Yea Gregoshi i think he means the special valour bonus that it states it gives for certain units. I.E. This province specializes in Godzilla units that give a +1 valour. As for the units themselves i believe if 2 different provinces can build the same unit, and have all the same upgrades maxed out, then the unit will be identical. Now there are those units you cant produce except in certain provinces, like Swiss Armored Pikemen. But i think i scratched your question some.

Naagi answered it.

So, every province builds exactly the same unit if both provinces have identical upgrades. But every province can, or can not, have a valour bonus point that is added to special units.

I guess that for men at arms and heavy spear infantry, there is no province specialised in them.

Oh, and thanks for the welcome.
