When I have auto-tidy on, it always seems to "screw" me when there are units with different tech levels. It will "pick up" a high tech unit and "drop it" into a low tech unit. Maybe it's just the order they are kept in the stacks.

This was discussed in a thread a while back. The consensus was that there are unit levels for armor, weapon, and morale upgrades, while valour is kept per man. Someone justified it by saying that the unit leader supplies the troops with armor and weapons.

Not saying it's right or wrong, it just seems to be the way it works. With this knowledge, you can choose to exploit it or not.
