armour upgrades

[tarem]

considering armor upgrades, will the apearance change as well as the armour rating? like level 1 armour=linothorax gives the trained units the said armour both visually (if aplicable) and a bonus to armor rating. level 2 scale armour, level 3 chainmail...with some armour levels not being available for some factions,like chainmail for Macedon, untill the Roman Polibian reforms kick in (or whatever substitute is there for EB2). or for Cathage too, so you can only equip (retrain) your soldiers with new armour after you capture a Roman city, thus simulating Hanibal's action of equiping his troops with captured roman armour.

-edit-
some of this is already mentioned in an existing topic, but i would like to know if it's possible to retrain an already existing unit to have the new set of armour?

P.S. should i copy/paste my question there (on the other topic)?

It works just the same as in M2TW so yes you would be able to retrain units to the new armour.
