Unit size upgrades

Kings of War Rules Discussion
1

Hi,
There are a few armies that have the option to increase the size of a regiment to horde, or horde to legion for units that normaly don’t have this option but are allowed under certain conditions.
Within the companion this is a checkbox you can mark

some examples:
Ghekkotah warriors from salamanders
rabble and luggits from goblins,
warriors from ratkin
and probably many more units

The book states that the attack and nerve profile changes. but doesn’t mention unit strength.
does the unit strength also changes, in case of a regiment becoming a horde, goes from 2 to 4?

in the companion this doesn’t happen, so i’m inclinded to think the unit strength stays the same.
kind regards

Unless specified as an exception in a profile, Troops, Regiments and Hordes each have a standard US. If a horde goes to a legion, currently, US stays the same (that of a horde).

is this somewhere in the rules that this is mentioned?

Page 67 has the table of US per unit size.

Exceptions are listed in a unit’s profile.

Nothing in the upgrades from hordes to legions affects US.
