Kings cannot retool. If they try... blammo

[Grond]

Some minor corrections, if you don´t mind:
"We" is first person plural

And archers need only one turn to train, at least in the plain, unmodded game, as do all units but ships or artillery. Retraining, therefore isn´t faster than retraining, especially since retraining is done just like production, one unit a time, unlike RTW.

The king is teleported home? I never noticed, I always thought he remained where he was as a prince. I´ll have to pay closer attention to my king.

I was, however, under the impression that it costs less to retrain to train, but I don't know where those stats are or where I read that.

Retraining only costs when you're adding men to a depleted unit, and then the cost is prorated per man. For example: if it costs 300 florins to build a certain unit of 60 men, and you're retraining a depleted unit up from 30 men back to full strength, then it would only cost 150 florins (300/2) the original unit cost. If you have a full strength unit, and you're retraining to gain weapon, armor, or valor bonuses, then it's free (other than the turn lost).
