Yet another chance to ask CA some questions.

After extensive testing a player here actually managed to get a ship up to 3 golden chevrons and the crew down to 6-8 of 40. When retrained the ship crushed any opponent as it was now a full 3 gold chevron ship, while it should have been around 2-3 bronze. Which is not enough to best 3-4 enemy ships of similar size, yet it won easily.

Aww man.... Just noticed the chevrons in this screenshot.

Three silver (level 6) in a full-ish unit? Retaining experience after retraining is back...

Will we have the possibility to name our armies?

Please, more info on system requirements(it's RAM I'm looking for).

Not so fast... that army is a developer thrown in one. Notice that it has cannons, etc. at the beginning of the game and is in the Holy Lands w/o having traveled there - it's a unit thrown in for demo purposes of crusades and late period units which will be removed at final release.

That is true enough, but the past experiences tells me that it is likely to be the case, unfortunately. It just feels that way now.

*sigh*
I will hope however, and I hope the question will be raised for CA.
