    Default Seleukid Royal Guard Thorakitai

    Sorry, I can't recall off the top of my head the real name of these guys but I'm sure you all know who I'm talking about. I can't upgrade their weapons through the blacksmith because they are classified under missile type, which is odd, as they are obviously not a missile unit. My question: I'm not good with the file tampering stuff so can anyone tell me how to fix them and make their weapons upgradeable?

    Their weapon type is actually "siege", as is that of the other "post-reform" units. I don't entirely understand the details, but it's some kind of rather arcane building-related trick to control their availability date.

    Anyways, all such units were given a freebie +1 to both attack scores to make up for the inability to upgrade their weapons with blacksmiths (not in the MP EDU though, where they have normal weapon types), so don't sweat it.
    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

    What in the name of Bartix makes you think these maniacs need upgrades? What are they going to do; stick metal spikes on their shields? Darts shooting out their knee caps as they run?

    It is difficult to explain, but my perfectionism that follows me everywhere does not allow me to leave a single unit below full strength even by one soldier nor leave an un-upgraded unit. I simply cannot stand seeing a unit without either bronze armour or armour and weapon in an expeditionary force/legion/army.
