Alright, I the armor tech and more than enough metal, but for whatever reason I can't upgrade my unit's armor passed leather is there something I'm missing?

No armor weakness for the race perhaps?

It could also be that they don't have chain proficiency (and then maybe plate proficiency).

Yes- they need those traits to use plate or chain.

It's too bad you can't train troops to gain/change traits. That would be sweet. The only upgrade you can get is equipment. :(

Go to the train option in your city, click DESIGN to open up unit design window and click NEW. When you design your troops, go to the TRAITS tab and select either chain mail or plate mail proficiency from the blue traits, they are the two bottom ones.
