Can you NOT upgrade units in armies?

[scooch74]

During a recent war I used a Great Leader to form an army. I assumed you could upgrade units in armies, so I decided to make an army of riflemen to later upgrade. As I gained the requisite technology all my riflemen were upgraded except the ones in my army. I was under the impression units in armies were upgradable but I was obvioulsy wrong. Anyone have anything to add?

Units in Armies can't upgrade, unfortunately.

I'm waiting for a little more feedback to my post about unloading units from armies. Soon you may know how upgrade those units.

This isn't a tease. I'm concerned that if I publish how to do it, Firaxis will fix it so we can't. My understanding is that Firaxis doesn't want units unloading from armies, perhaps for balancing issues, or perhaps because the AI doesn't know how to take adavantage of the ability.

Welcome to CFC, guys.

No, you can't upgrade units in armies and you can't unload them either. Armies are already very powerful in themselves; giving them these extra abilities will only make the game much more unbalanced.

Kevo - already posted on the other thread...

Don't leave us hanging like this..
Besides, the alarm bells are probably already ringing at Firaxis, just knowing it's possible - they'll find out eventually, so you might as well spill here.
Or maybe just send a private eMail to interested posters? *g Don't forget me!
