Some questions...

Primary weapon is the bonus you give in the upgrade unit screen, with value from 0 to 3. Higher is the value higher is the efficiency on the use of weapons . At example it modify the possibility to make a hit but not the factor related to weapon type (like armour piercing capacity or maximum damage).

[*] = ;         else
[*] = ;         begin
[*] = ;            var armorKoef : Integer = 2;
[*] = ;            case selectedUnitArmor of
[*] = ;               0 : armorKoef := 2;
[*] = ;               1 : armorKoef := 4;
[*] = ;               2 : armorKoef := 8;
[*] = ;               3 : armorKoef := 12;
[*] = ;            end;
[*] = ;            restorePrice := selectedPrice * armorKoef;
[*] = ;         end

This part looks ok but a few lines below we can see something like this:

var armorKoef : Integer = 1;
[*] = ;      case selectedUnitArmor of
[*] = ;         0 : armorKoef := 1;
[*] = ;         1 : armorKoef := 1;
[*] = ;         2 : armorKoef := 10;
[*] = ;         3 : armorKoef := 10;
[*] = ;      end;
[*] = ;      selectedPrice := selectedPrice * armorKoef;

I'm curious why units with armor >1 cost 10 times more to reinforce? Maybe it works under different circumstances?

Armour 3 is a very expensive value, because make a big difference in fight (is a complete knight armour) it was the more expensive things in war with the warhorse. The routine suppose if you must reinforce a unit of knights you must pay also for their equipment which is more expensive of that of militia.

I see you start soon to play with the code

Units with shields on the back. When does such a unit use shield or when the shield works?

BLock hit from the back direction, if I remember well the routines
