Do you ever have the same trained unit from the start of the game to the end?

from Stardock Forums

Near the end of my last game, i realized that I had a militia in my stack that had been there since the very beginning of the game (I upgraded the unit over time). Just  a real lucky unit that was never in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Reminded me of Civ 4, when I would occasionally notice a few ancient units hanging out in modern cities in the late game.

I've had my initial trained units survive until I could replace them with mounted units at which point I use them for garrison duty. The first mounted units I build often survive to the end of the game. I equip them with ranged magic weapons and use them as artillery - it's the only way I've discovered to take down more powerful monsters in the early game. I upgrade them so they are still relevant in the endgame - a level 12 company armed with hailstone or hellfire staffs can inflict a lot of damage.

all the time... i'm careful about keeping them safe during battles until they become elite.

Hmm. My trained unit survival rate is really low, this almost never happens.
