I rectruit them in THakashila (sp?), the northern indian city. They are very very good!

Can different men in a unit have different stats? I mean, the engine deals with individual men at times (As with experience) so it seems likely.

In my opinion that would mostly be speculative, but with 0 experience newly recruited units I'd assume individual units too be identical stat-wise.

Oh yes. That is a proven fact. When two units merge, each soldier keeps his own stats.

Multiple (>2-3) hitpoints, high lethality and pretty high attack. Very strong.

Those units just have stats of ht base unit multiplied by stuff right or do they have their own stats?

I wish there was some way to see those individual stats. I'd love to see how many battles Joe the spartan survives and how lethal he is etc. Unit rosters would be awesome for those statistic lovers out there. It would be the equivalent of baseball stats for the ancient world.

While we know that each soldier has his own skill level, is this represented in battle? For example, half the unit has 3 silver chevrons and half has no chevrons then the unit should average out to 3 bronze chevrons. What I want to know is in battle, will half the men in the unit have silver chevron battle stats and the other half no chevron battle stats, or will every man in the unit have 3 bronze chevron battle stats? Did that make sense?

Yeah it made sense miotas. As for an answer, I don't think there is any real way to find that out other than looking at the code. Perhaps someday they will release the RTW code to the public domain.

I'd be highly surprised if that happens. Proprietary software FTW once again!
