Editing Units (section)

==Unit Upgrades==
Units can be upgraded in various ways, enhancing their combat capabilities.

===Levels & Veterancy===
Units gain experience from being deployed in battles, and once enough experience is gained the unit will level up (up to a maximum level that is defined on a per-unit basis). The specific amount of experience gained per unit depends on:
*Whether the unit was used in the battle or not,
*Whether other units were used in the battle (in this case most of the gained experience is divided equally between all used units, and a small remaining amount is divided equally between all unused units),
*The type of battle (e.g. [[Bandit Raids]] give more experience than [[siege battles]]),
*The player's performance in the battle.

If a unit is already at maximum level, then experience will be contributed to the shared experience pool instead, which has a limit of 1,000,000 XP. Shared experience can be given to units via the warband page (U).

The following are the required experience amounts for each individual level up:

Unit maximum levels are as follows:
{|class="wikitable"
|-
! Era !! Max Level
|-
| <span style="color: grey !important;">Rustic</span> || 10 or 12 (for 0 and 0.5 star units respectively)
|-
| <span style="color: grey !important;">Feudal</span> || 12-14
|-
| <span style="color: green !important;">Chivalric</span> || 18
|-
| <span style="color: blue !important;">Silver</span> || 18
|-
| <span style="color: purple !important;">Heroic</span> || 24
|-
| <span style="color: yellow !important;">Golden</span> || 30
|}

[[Mercenaries]] have a higher maximum level than other units of their era; [[Martellatori]] have a maximum of 13 while all other mercenaries have a maximum level of 20.

When a unit levels up, it receives a small increase to its maximum HP as well as a single veterancy point. Veterancy points can be allocated to nodes on a unit's veterancy tree, and each node confers a certain bonus ranging from a stats increase to a new formation or unit order to a new effect on an existing unit order or formation. A veterancy point can only be allocated to a node if every node before it is fully unlocked, starting from the left. Once a veterancy point has been allocated, it can only be deallocated by using a [[Scroll of Renewal]] (which will also deallocate all veterancy points used).

===Doctrines===
All units can equip up to 5 doctrines which grant various boosts. See the [[doctrines]] page for more details.

===Mastery===
A certain set of units have access to a separate upgrade tree which confers additional stats increases and effects. See the [[mastery]] page for more details.
