Is it possible to make weapon promotions changeable for all units at any point int he game? In Warhammer Tabletop, part of the strategy of the game is deciding on how to arm your men, and for what purpose you intend to use them for. The majority of troops have a reasonable amount of choice to pick from with dual weapons, flails, great weapons, shields, and heavy armour, that are better for certain situations or perhaps complement other units you have in your army.
For Civ4, in the research screen you complete a core area like Weapons Training or something similiar and then proceed to research dual wielding, weapon and shield, heavy armour etc. Once each area has been researched then your units can switch between each of the weapon possibliities, each of course with its own advantages and weaknesses.
To avoid abuse, simply make it that the unit must be in a city with the appropriate facility (barracks, armoury etc.) to do this, and perhaps make it cost a few gold to switch between arms if this is somehow possible. That way the weapons and armour can't be changed on a whim, but instead should be a deliberate strategic decision for the future.
