Just want to ask if it is possible to have weapon upgrades bigger than +3 (should be available for macedonian archers- temple+armory), and which color are they.

Only Bronze, Silver and Gold are avaliable in Weapon Upgrades, but Experience also does the job. (1 point per exp point, i think only for melee, due to a patch IIRC)
So I can't have +4 weapon although buildings allow it? Sucky...
Yeah, generally you concentrate one type of unit in one settlement for speed etc.
I thought every 3 stripes for a +1 bonus? At most +3 bonus.
Experience: + 1 attack and + 1 defence
Weapon upgrade: + 1 attack only
Armour upgrade: + 1 defence only.
So they still apply to ranged attacks?
I know this was changed in M2TW, but I cant remember for RTW.
I don't believe so, the defense gained with experience is under "defense skill", which does not factor in when dealing with ranged attacks. So a nine-experience peasant unit would have ten defense skill, zero shield def. and zero armor def., which means that if they are shot with arrows or javelin, they would still die like flies.
btw, for the Macedonian temple of Artemis, don't the higher tiers have like "+4 ranged weapon" upgrade or something? Does the extra one upgrade count, or what?
nope... +3 is the maximum
