SP Campaign feature: recruits tend to outshine "veterans"

[al Roumi]

Bar new abilities, tech has never been applied to extant units in TW games -to my knowledge. I guess the intended game mechanic is that your oldest units, by gaining experience, should be more or less equivalent to newly recruited units - but this has always been hard to achieve (for me anyway).

Also, in all previous TW games you could, through the retraining mechanism, upgrade your units with the boni available in a certain province -i.e. you could recruit a unit of armoured swordsmen in Nottingham then retrain the unit (despite it being at full numbers) in London to give it the benefits of your armoury/weaponsmith in London.

I'm happy to have done away with the micro management required to manage troop replenishments, but I do feel we've lost a bit of the baby with the bath water.
