I just noticed that armor upgrades for units affect how they appear.
Upgraded my Viking Raiders from nothing to light mail. Then I did a double take to see that they actually looked different.

Yea I knoticed that too, really cool feature they put in
Heck yeah! That's like the best part of the armor upgrades! I still wish peasants could be clad in full plate though, that would be pretty funny looking.
They look good, but they're broken.
An upgrade to full plate has the same effect as an upgrade to, say, light mail should have :(

Really. That's disappointing. Is there a mod fix yet?
No... and it may not be possible either.

do you mean the LOOK is the same or the DEFENSE gained is the same? I don't mind it looking the same, as long as my soldier get better protection.Originally Posted by sapi
He means the defense... but i think it's a feature rather than a bug.
Usually you can upgrade to full plate only if you already have partial plate (it wouldn't make sense to upgrade archers or other 'fast' non-armoured untis to heavy armor), right? There's no big difference between partial and full plate, like there is no big difference between light and heavy mail, hence the same increment of only 1 point. But some units like militia pikemen that starting with no armor can upgrade all the way up to partial plate get +3 armor...
I now have an Advanced Plate upgrade, but still it appears not to be any better. Why????
I support Israel
Because no unit in the game can upgrade from full plate to advanced plate. Late general's bodyguards were the only ones, but you can't get them. You just wasted your money.
It's not necessarily a waste, some units can upgrade to advanced plate.Originally Posted by dopp
Sorry, only three units (other than the disabled late bodyguards) can upgrade to advanced plate:
Italian MAA
Famiglia Ducale
Broken Lances
So if you don't play Italians then forget it.
Glad I read this, I was about to put some serious cash out at a couple of castles to build these armories.Originally Posted by dopp
