"Every French soldier carries a marshal's baton in his knapsack."
- Napoleon Bonaparte
Your units earn promotions through combat, and also from being constructed in cities with Barracks or other military buildings. Promotions can dramatically improve a unit's combat ability or increase its movement or its healing rate. A unit with a lot of promotions is extremely valuable - use them wisely in battle and always upgrade them when possible.
