Holy Cow - Armor Upgrades

[Kazakh]

It's a simple rule, the first upgrade gives you +1 armor, the second +2 and so on.. to make things simple. Maybe it's a balancing issue, at CA they thought peasants should never be as good as militia. If you think that's not realistic, let's say peasants get smaller and simpler padded armors. Anyway that's only my opinion, i'd like to see a mod about that.

Ive heard its possible, but no one has been bothered to go through and manually change each one
eg
Spanish_town_milita 0 1 2 3
Spanish_spear_milita 0 1 2 3

It would take a long time.

It's not possible, because the line that would allow it can't be uncommented without crashing the game.

In other words, the engine won't support it.

At least, not unless someone finds a workaround.

I have the Heavy Armourer or whatever the one that costs 10000 florins is called, but it still apears that my soldiers only get a bronze armour symbol. Why is this?

Some units that already have heavy plate can only be upgraded once or twice more by the high level armorer.

Not every unit can have the same number of armor upgrades. The number each can have is determined by the files. Most can have 1, some can have 2, and a very few can have 3. It can be a rather drastic difference, too. Spanish Tercio Pikemen can have 2 armor upgrades. The second should put them in half-plate for an armor rating of 6; it actually gives them a 2. But as Musashi said, people found the line that shows what the armor should be with the upgrades, and it's commented out. Removing the semicolon in front of the line causes the game to crash. I don't know if it's an unfinished feature or something they just couldn't get working and left in the files.
