Maxing the Chevrons?

[fleaza]

the nomad factions get 9 chevrons quite easily. ive got most of my non administrating family members get 9 chvrons unless i make a mistake and have them die.

It definitely varies. I've even seen mixed experienced recruits/green recruits in the same retraining batch - on bringing a heavily battered Epeirote stack back to Ambrakia for retraining after 10+ years of fighting in Italy, I queued up half the stack for retraining, only to find the next season that my formerly 8-man Prodromoi unit had retained their one gold chevron, while my formerly 23-man Thorakitai unit went from three silver chevrons down to one bronze one (huge unit size).

oh don't worry, the front row dudes are still the silver chevron killing machines that they are...those 23.
