  • Why the heck don't my units look all shiny on the battlefield when I stick a valour on, I mean they're getting an armour upgrade within the valour...


Just because I've got a few £££ left over on my new spanish army
Morale is an issue that is completely related to the valour upgrades mate. Weapon upgrades only increase attack in melee *even for missle troops* whilst defence upgrades increases a units skill defence. Base defence is protection against everything incl. missles *which skill does not protect against*
They dont look shiny on the field :D as a valour upgrade again is linked to the SKILL of that particular unit, and not his equipment.
If ure going to upgrade a unit i say choose either weapon or defence first as in battle that unit *if in prolonged combat* will eventually get the valour upgrade. If you already have a valour upgrade on a unit i believe it is harder to achieve the second/third valour so therefore it would be more cost efficient?
