How do you overcome this problem. If you play in early and have a general who is blessed with many stars, as time marches on he and his unit rapidly get left behind by newly available units. I know I can send him back to his region to upgrade his armour and replace his casualties but he would still be no match against opponents that have been made available later in the game. Does this meaan I have to keep fielding armies in 1350 with a unit of Urban Militia in them because my best general started off as one? In the case of Royal Knights I know that the if that is the case then I can upgrade through the game and maintain a powerful unit but if your general is attached to vanilla archers or Urban Militia, what do you do?
