Making strelets receive smith upgrades ANSWERED

[Badnorth]

Strelets easily die because they dont receive any smith upgrades. While pikemen,halberdier and some pole-arm infantry receives some. Strelets only have the same hp as swordsman and has no armor but takes longer to train due to the requirements of gunpowder. I know they have a handgonne - thats what makes them powerful as a gunpowder unit but they are easily killed. So I suggest to make them enabled to receive smith upgrades or only the level 1 tiers of sword and armor.

That is the point.
They are mix of swordsman (hp, power), spearman (exactly the same damage as them vs all various mounted) and gun shooter - full range, full power.
If not for gunpowder requirement - they would never have such high stats.
They purposefully got medium infantry category to have a weakness - to easily die when attacked.
On the other hand - there is not really anything they are totally useless against, so they can deal damage consistently.

Ok, thanks but a question - I noticed musketeers have 2 melee armor? Why do they have it?

[Endru1241]

Handgoneers. Name should be changed already.
Melee armor was mainly to have them survive at least one attack from non-specialized against them units (man-at-arms mainly).
Strelet unit doesn't have such problem, as it already can survive it by pure hp.

Okay. Setting this to answered.
