Is there a way to upgrade your city garrisoned units with better gear?

The title pretty much says it all. I'm referring to ways to do it without editing XML files etc.

I'm pretty sure city milita are upgraded with whatever your latest gear from tech is, no?

I think Parrothmath has an armor upgrade mod as well. Look in the mod forum for that.

Are they? Mine seemed to suck.. but perhaps they don't get the training upgrades or the City enchantment mods? hmm. 

Yes, beware of AI militia at higher difficulty levels... they HURT, ...alot ;) (My targeting is killing them first, then the "real" troops)

 

But to be more specific. Hammer weapons upgrade with techs, other stuff do not. (archers seems to suck all game)

hmm what you just described - hammer weapons upgrade.. others don't.. almost makes it sound like a bug and / or configuration issue.

Well, depends on your view. Militia can be OP damage-wise, but they suck defensive-wise. I feel it's fine as long as you are aware of them.

Defending multiple areas in this game, while also maintaining a healthy income.. isn't necessarily easy from what I've seen. So keeping multiple militaries on file, depending on your location, at least as a novice to the game doesn't appear easy.

 

But yeah, the Militia doesn't seem to upgrade armor - I noticed some weapons increase, probably the hammers you mentioned. 

 

Also, very preliminary but.. Doesn't the city defenses kick in generally once per turn - for one combat? It appeared to me that I could effectively 'reset' this by allowing an auto-combat at that site, and any subsequent combat afterwards would again, show them as on the roster for combat.
