Units

[LYNCHY]

Would it be possible to have more than one unit type in an army, because countries didn't have armies made completley out of longbows and knights for exampls so surely we should have the option of being able to make 3 or 4 different types of infantry in every province instead of just one (or occasionly 2 but i'm not sure what causes those units to come up in the odd province)

I think it's kind of an abstraction intended to model general improvement over time but not really modelling combined arms effects at a level beyond infantry-cavalry-artillery.

The reason you get the additional ones is that if some other country has a core on the province you can build their unit types in addition to their own. I think that is intended to simulate the case where you own some province inhabited by people of another culture and you'd have the option to raise troops in their traditional style, but it often works out oddly in practice, and I believe the next time you change your default troop type (due to advance in land tech) it will convert all types you have to the new type anyway.

EUIII converts all troops of your current favoured type to your new favoured type.

It doesn't affect anything built using a non-favoured type, and it doesn't affect your "foreign" core based troops.

I never build anything but the favored type, so I stand corrected on what happens to the others when you upgrade.
