Merging units after battle

[Major Robert Dump]

The XP is somewhat averaged out on merging.

You get best results merging a smaller, lower xp with a larger, higher xp unit. Sometimes you can create smaller, lower xp units from merging with a unit that is almost full, meaning the smaller unit doesn't suck xp. Try no to merge a larger, lower xp unit with a small, high xp unit unless you are out of options or you just don't care.

Not being able to retrain and upgrade sucks.

However, it is a very good reason to change your capitol to a place with a smith, so all your sons and sons of vassals recruits get upgrades. I'm not sure if field prmotions get any bonuses since they appear at the location of the battle. If a smith is present in the district, then maybe, but I honestly don't remember

That's an interesting idea - how do you change your capitol in this game? I thought there was not a button for it like in some earlier games.

Beats the heck out of me, hindsight is 20/20, chock that up with the list of "things I should have done."

Other than losing your capital I have no idea, and then it seems random so unless you only own one other province u may be screwed

I don't think you can manually change your capital. If you lose your capital, it will automatically be relocated for you to a nearby province, but you do not get to pick the province. When you recapture the province, your capital moves back, also without any input from the player. This actually resulted in an odd situation in my most recent Oda Legendary game. I intentionally abandoned Owari on Turn 2 and based my faction out of Mikawa. Once Owari was taken, the game moved my capital to Mikawa. I did not recapture Owari for about 25 in-game years, by which time Mikawa was heavily upgraded. Despite the fact that Mikawa had been my capital for 25 years and was huge, and I had only held Owari for a couple turns during the entire game (and even burned down a building before I left), the people were still extremely happy that I had retaken it and my capital moved back there without any unrest. Not exactly realistic, but it seems to be the way the game works.
