The danger/problem with upgrades currently is the potential for very sudden swings in military power within a very compact time frame, making it too easy for a short term advantage to translate into a dominant position that effectively ends the game.
Suggest making upgrades require the unit be on an Encampment tile. Depending on the unit it may also require the Encampment being upgraded with Barracks, Stable, Armory, etc. That would still allow a prepared player with Encampments in multiple cities to upgrade a large army in a couple turns. So, if the upgrading needs to be slowed down even more, certain upgrades could be turned into projects they city builds, that when complete unlock the unit's ability to upgrade.
Sudden extreme shifts in power, especially military can be very bad for strategic games, so a mechanism for limiting that can allow players to interact and respond in meaningful ways.
