    Default A plea to CA

    PLEASE please dont make units untrainable once you get past a certain year. In RTW and MTW it was really annoying. In RTW by the time you get marius reforms you arleady have 2-3 armys on the move, and all of them experianced, it stops your conquest for some years and complicates everything (once you conquer a city your depleted forces, even though they have 3 gold chevrons, you have to disband them).

    And it makes no practical sense whatsoever.

    Then there would almost be no point to new units as you'd just keep using the same armies of old.

    not if the new units are (a little bit) better. compare it to CMAA and FMAA. At the same valour, CMAA are a bit better than FMAA. But if the FMAA have 1 valour, they are better, so it might be usefull to keep them.

    Maybe just re-train then, and no training.
    "Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much."

    Would be fun if u could convert an FMAA to a CMAA by the time you get technology for CMAA. I seldom get more than a few bronze chevrons for my troops in the campaigns as it is now (because I tech up quickly with many unit replacements and finish the campaign before the highest-tech units have time to reach a high xp level)...
    Under construction...

    Yes that's a good idea, it would encourage you to go for experience rather than brute numbers - which in my opinion is a good thing.

    Agreed.
    Suddenly untrainable units is nonsense. Besides the obvious problem of having to train furiously, the player should have the option of retaining as many old units as wanted.

    As long as the AI can adjust to changing technologies. If the AI from MTW only trained FMAA when it had CMAA available then that's bad. It should be up to the player to keep training old units but make sure the AI doesn't misuse this feature.
