Weapon upgrades

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?

That's what I was asking. It is +5 before, and +3 after patch. Now, if I have temple of Artemis with +3, do I still get +1 from armory?
