Weapons Upgrades

[littlebktruck]

I've read of people discussing weapons upgrades, and I've noticed where they could be bought in custom battles, but I haven't discovered the way to get them in campaign mode. I tried building the necessary building above (for instance, building spearmen in a province with a spearman's workshop), but I didn't notice the little icon in the bottom left of the unit's picture, so I'm thinking that isn't it. How do you upgrade your troops' weapons?

you need a province with iron, then you need to build a metalsmith, etc..

There are only a handful of provinces on the map that have Iron - Sweden, Franconia, Aragon, Navare, Castile, (off the top of my head) and several more I can't recall atm.

You must have at least a Castle before you can build the Metalsmith. Once built, units built in the province with weapons will have a + 1 bonus (I believe it is limited to Melee attack and does not effect ranged attacks). The Metalsmith can be upgraded as you tech up.

hope that helps.

Sweden, Franconia, Bavaria (I think), Hungary, Carpathia, Aragon, Navare, Castile and Leon.

You can build an armourer with just a keep, but you need to upgrade to castle before you can build a metalsmith. It appears to affect ranged attacks, someone should do a custom battle experiment to find out though.

I see. Well, I have Sweden, so that should be nice and handy. Thanks!

Weapons upgrades only improve melee attack, not missile effectiveness.
