a few upgrading questions

1. When I upgrade a unit, can I add any extra items or traits? For example, if I have a custom unit with a spear and I upgrade him, can I add a horse?

2. If I neglected to click the upgrade slot icon when designing a unit, can I still upgrade that slot? Or am I stuck with whatever equipment the unit started out with?

3. Can I switch weapon types when I upgrade? For example, if I start off a unit with a spear, but then decide the unit actually wants an axe, can I upgrade him from spear to axe? Or am I stuck with a spear?

Thanks!

Not if by unit you mean one created in a town, etc. You can do this to a champion or your sovereign, of course.

You're stuck.

Once again, you're stuck.

I'm hoping more flexibility will be added to this game element in the future, but we'll just have to wait, and see.

Keep in mind that you do have the upgrade option when you design the unit. If you mess up a few and re-design it, it takes about 5 minutes and you have a few non-optimal units. At least along the same path.

If I can afford it I usually don't disband the obsolete unit, I'll generally have a slow army (non-horse) and a couple fast armies (all mounted). I generally avoid making a ton of troops till I get some horses just because movement is so slow.

I generally don't get that attached to my non-champ units. Even if they have a few levels on them. With that said, i rarely change - either naked mounted archers or upgradeable armor sword n' board horsemen.
