Problem with units, upgrades and armor

[TrashMan]

Right. For example, English Longbowmen were often peasants/woodsmen that started training with a Longbow when they were very young. They brought their Longbow with them to war. I would assert that the Longbow we definitely a valuable piece of gear.

Longbowmen are a special case as the king wanted to make an army of longbowmen, so they were required BY LAW to train and have a bow.
Also, a longbow isn't that expensive or difficult to make.

The most expensive piece of wargear is BY FAR the armor.

This is definitely one of those areas where the game should give zero ****s about reality and just do what is fun. Levy armies aren't fun.

Fun is subjective.

Interesting idea but I wouldn't like to be locked to this in my gameplay
