    Default Custom Battle Armor Upgrades

    I am noticing that in custom battles it seems to not allow me to upgrade any unit's armor or weapon past the first upgrade. You can upgrade armor once, weapon once. Yet I almost definitely recall playing custom battles with silver/gold upgrades.

    How does the custom battle system work with armor? Is this the same in MP?

    Thanks

    Yep- I think they took that off after RTW. The only thing you can upgrade to Silver and Gold is the Chevrons. As for armor & Weps that will stay as bronze.

    Thanks for the response Lancome...

    No disrespect to you (none, it's my meticulousness) but can someone confirm this?

    I don't mind it or anything ...but again, I could have sworn I had some custom battles going when I set the florins value @ 1,000,000 (max) in which I had silver armor on units. But I'm positive that even 30,000 florins wouldn't allow it last night no matter how hard I tried. I've done like 100 custom battles in the past few days and just don't recall exactly whether that was with this game or if I'm just so used to setting gold chevrons in total war games.

    Thanks

    You are sure that it is units that can be upgraded that far? As far as I can tell units can only get their armor upgraded in custom battle just as far as they can in the campaign. So for instance a Pike Militia can be upgraded further then some Peasant Archers. Atleast that is how it is for me, and while I'm unsure wether or not I actually have the latest patch I find it unlikely that it has been changed.
    We have this almost mythical tree, given to us by the otherwise hostile people in the east to symbolize our friendship and give us permission to send caravans through their lands. It could be said to symbolize the wealth and power of our great nation. Cut it down and make me a throne.

    Upgrades are the same as in campaign.

    When you check the final stats of the fully upgraded custom unit, you'll find they match the stats of the fully-upgraded unit in the campaign map. I think it just doesn't take as many steps as it seems to in the campaign map where you're slowly upgrading the armourer series.
