This is quite disturbing. It means that the attack point you get from a chevron is different from the attack point you get from a weapon upgrade. That and gg2 misinformed me and/or I misunderstood him. Because if you remember, it isn't simply attack vs defense. If this was the case, you couldn't hurt an enemy unit if it had a certain defense or higher. Remember that even at the lowest attack values there is an apparent minimum chance to hurt the enemy.
Well I remember us testing the defense bonuses vartan and it didn't seem to matter whether 1 bronze shield was added or the unit had an extra point of armor. However, the attack bonuses may operate differently. TCV got nearly 3 times as many extra kills by adding the weapons upgrades. If you just gave Caucasian Archers 10 attack in the edu and tested it, I feel the results would be much more similar to those he received testing with the 3 chevrons added rather than with the gold weapons upgrade though all three would be at 10 attack.

This may mean that attack bonuses are broken while the defense ones are not.
