Has anyone noticed if it is possible to upgrade your royal knights/ghulam bodyguards post patch. It really sucks when the unit is finally whittled down to 1 person and it's your favorite general.

It works http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I have had no problem adding replacements and upgrades to my Royal Knights at least; will have to try another campaign to check Ghulams.

One oddity. The king unit would get armour AND weapon upgrades, even though my only iron mine (Sweden) does not have the ability to produce Royals. On the turn of succession the king would appear fully upgraded ; never placed him in the que because he never leaves Denmark http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Excellent I hadn't noticed that.
It's definitely good that you can upgrade Royal Knights. Bit of a shame it doesn't happen automagically for non heir/king units on the era change, but I guess it makes you deal with obsolecense a bit, which is good.

Not strange at all.

If I was a Medieval King, I'd demand to have the best armour available.

Yeah, I don't mind that at all. Why would the king get custom made weapons for himself and his guard. But do they get the best Morale as well (Cathedral-provinces)?
