Just can't seem to get my Military Games going.

Yeah, mass upgrading has taken a hit, but it's still useful.

One thing I immediately thought about when considering the Celts - Agr/Rel (right?) is strong, and the 40-shield Gallic sounds awesome... but of course in Conquests upgrading a warrior to a Gallic will cost 90 gold per, whereas in PTW it was 80 gold per... so it really isn't much of a change.

GS with 2 movement is very strong early in the game. I had an army made of them and the extra move with free pillage is brutal.

Just down screw up and add a MI or guerilla to the army later and lose the movement.

The first time I was told it was 120 gold to upgrade to a calv, I almost choked.

An army of GS's would indeed be a terror. 4.3.3, with 3 attacks and free pillage. Yikes.

An army of med inf, by the way, is actually very effective. It takes 3 4.2.1 units and transforms them into a 6.3.2. machine of death.

120g to upgrade horses to Knights, I thought. Would be 150 to got direct to Cav, unless I'm wrong that Cav are 80 shield units.

You could be correct, I was not sure if it was knights or calvs. Either way it made me sick.
