Actually it is possible to add more than +1 in one upgrade, but maximum is +3 at all. So you can have unit with 0 armor upgraded to 3 leather, but you will be not able to upgrade it more.

Pray tell how does one do that? It seems as though it's stuck at only +1 per level.

way how to add to unit more than +1 armor point through upgrade is to mod armour_ug_levels stats.

Exaample: Peasant Crosbowmen have armour_ug_levels 0, 1, 2. So they will recieve +1 with leather upgrade and +1 with light chain upgrade. If you change that to: armour_ug_levels 0, 1, 1, 2 they will recieve +2 with leather upgrade and +1 with light chain upgrade.
armour_ug_levels 0, 1, 1, 1 means that with leather upgrade you will recieve +3.

Catch is,that every unit can recieve only +3 upgrade, so it is not possible to rise armor to higher levels than +3.

PS: ofcourse you cant forget to add correct upgrade skin to armour_ug_models, so for +2leather and +1 chain it will look:

armour_ug_levels 0, 1, 1, 2
armour_ug_models Peasant_Crossbowmen, Peasant_Crossbowmen_ug1, Peasant_Crossbowmen_ug1, Peasant_Crossbowmen_ug2

OH I GET IT! That just confused the heck out of me for 5 minutes, then I finally figured out how it apparently functions. I'll explain further for those of you who may be equally confused.

What he's saying is that the armour_ug_levels line can contain up to 3 level entries, each of which corresponds to a +1 armor bonus. You can have all 3 of those +1s count for the same smith upgrade level, all count for different smith levels, or any combination, but you can only have up to 3 entries for +1s. So the numbers that you put in the armour_ug_levels line have nothing to do with the actual bonuses you're trying to give the unit, but are actually the numbers of the smith level that should give a bonus. Then you just repeat the same smith level multiple times to make extra +1s pile up for that smith level, if you so choose, of course remembering that you can't use more than 3 no matter what you do.

Hope that helps.
