If you have a unit with a special characteristic, like good armor, and combine it with a unit without that characteristic does the new unit have that special characteristic or not? Or is it determined for each individual soldier?

I see this thread has caught fire. Before I get any replies...
I hear that archers and gunners don't fire if there is a chance they hit your own troops. However, I've noticed when I move units in front of them they usually keep right on firing - often resulting in friendly fire casualties. They will often fire into the mix when melee is going on, once again resulting in friendly casualties. Is there a solution to this or is it just the way things go.
Question #1.Drop the unit with out the upgrade on the unit with the upgrade and the combined unit will have the armor or improved weapons.If you do it in reverse the combined unit will lose the upgrade.
Question#2.Friendly fire casualties are part of the game.If you click on a specific unit that you want your missile unit to attack they will keep firing no matter what.Sometimes it is better to have your missile unit "hold position" and let them pick their own targets,supposedly you will have less friendly fire casualties.Don't know how true that is.Many people in the community complain that there should be more friendly fire casualties,and in some respects I agree with them.

My experience is that guns will continue to fire, regardless of friendly casualties. I tested interposing units to see how effective guns would be. They fired continually despite killing more friendlies than foe.

Friendly Fire:
If you leave your archers on Fire At Will, and do NOT tell them to shoot at anyone in particular, they will pick and choose their own targets, and they will stop firing at an enemy unit if your own men engage that unit. This is best when you leave your archers up on a hill to harass the approaching enemy. When your flankers engage, your archers will look for new targets. This helps cut down on (but not prevent!) friendly casualties.
If you tell your archers to fire at a specific enemy unit, they will continue firing at them even if your men move to engage. This is best when you send a unit of ashigaru to slow down the attacking monks, and you have your archers pepper the melee indiscriminantly. In this case, we don't care about our own casualties, we just want to kill monks before they reach us!
Unit Stats:
I think it does still track the soldiers individually. If you have the newest patch, check out the info in the Log File. The numbers is shows on the icons is just the avaerage for that unit.
