((I'm going to simplify things. Not all units will have levels, and military levels will work a bit differently. Changes:
Civilians now work at a base rate of 4/turn.
Having Good Tools will increase this to 6/turn.
Having an overseer skilled at their job will increase this by +1/person, for up to 50 people working at the same task.
Poor Tools will be renamed to Tools.
Metalsmiths may make 4 tools/turn, or 2 good tools/turn. With good tools, they'll make 6/3.
Tools and good tools now break at a rate of 0-10%, rather then 0-5%. [of population using tools. Most everybody does]
Limit of 5 educated people. They may learn any number of skills, including magic, but must spend 1-5 turns learning how to do whatever it is they'll do.
To encourage diversity, people work at half effectiveness at a civilian job for three turns before they become skilled in it. They forget their previous skills instantly when switching, to simplify my record keeping.
Military levels:
L1 - New Recruit, 1 HP
L2 - Militia - +1att, 2 HP
L3 - Green - +1 att, +1def, 3 HP
L4 - Regular - +2att, +1 def, 4 HP
L5 - Trained - +2att, +2def, 5 HP
L6 - Skilled - +3att, +3def, 6 HP
L7 - Veteran - +4att, +4def, 7 HP
L8 - Elite - +5att, +5def, 9 HP
L9 - Master - +7att, +7def, 12 HP
L10 - Legend - +9att, +9def, 16 HP
Attack and defense bonuses are added to equipment, and are not cumulative with each other. All humans have a base of 1att, 1def.
It is only possible to train them up to level 5 without sending them off into battle.
Each level of training takes progressively more time, up to 4 turns to go from L4 to L5.
Civilians may have military training. They will keep this training, but will expect payment. They're in the army reserve, afterall. If they're not paid, they'll stop exercising, and will lose one level per turn, until they're militia. Only civilians will lose levels when not paid. Draft 'em to keep their experience.
Soldiers now pay taxes.
New recruits and milita only require payment while on patrol or while training.
L3 and above each cost 1g-8g per turn, depending on level, regardless of their current task.
All starting troops have been promoted to L3. Those who had already gained a level are L4.
A master swordsman is also a master archer, if given a bow. I'm not tracking individual weapon skills. This also allows archers to carry swords, for example.
Ranged attackers get a free round at the start and attack before melee attackers. The battle order may be modified slightly due to circumstances, but the basic battle order is thusly: Ranged, ranged, melee, ranged, melee, ranged, melee, etc. Switching weapons takes a turn.
If a soldier has a ranged weapon but has been ordered to prefer melee, they will fire during the initial 'free' ranged action, then switching during the next volley, and will have their swords ready for the first melee stage.melee(attack), ranged(nothing), melee(attack).
There is no way for anything to attack during both melee and ranged stages.
Anybody with under 1/4 their HP is in critical condition, and might die without aid.
Anybody with at least 1/4 their HP is badly wounded enough that they can't work, but they won't die if nobody feeds them.
Anybody with at least 1/2 their HP will be able to perform light work and heal at a regular rate, but will heal double while resting in a hospital, so long as somebody is tending them.
Anybody with at least 3/4 their HP will be able to work normally.
Basic weapons and armor: (More are possible, tell me what you want the weapon to do, and justify it)
Iron/copper Swords - 1H weapon, +1att/+1def
Iron/copper Maces - 1H weapon, +1att, 'lethal' strikes knock target out instead
Iron/copper Spears - 2H weapon, +2att, double damage vs cavalry
Iron/copper Greatsword - 2H weapon, +3 att
Leather sling - 1H weapon, +1att, -1def, ranged
Bow with wooden arrows - 2H weapon, +2att, -1def, ranged
Bow with iron/copper arrows - 2Hweapon, +3att, -1def, ranged
Iron/copper/wooden shield - Off-hand armor, +1def
Leather armor - Full-body armor +1def
Now is also a good time to mention that the ocean hexes have land tiles.))
Evergod's Company:
{12, again}, Luck - Nothing special happens. Again.
The merchants leave after trading, and work continues as usual.
Some miners take time off to dismantle the lean-to, recovering 8 usable pieces of stone. Other miners find a small deposit of iron.
Evergod {7} - [AI] Nurse the wounded
Victor tends to the wounded, giving them food and water. He accidentally feeds slightly-too-hot soup to the armor-smith, who is mildly displeased by the abuse. Perhaps because of this, he is seen walking around hours later, complaining about the noise made during the construction of the hospital. Victor quickly sends him back to bed.

New spell: Healing WindErrol {19} - Magically examine Flarefire Opals with magic.
Using her through knowledge of scholarly magic, Mage opens her book. It has a small entry on Flarefire opals. Most of it is theories about their existence, but some is useful:
These rare stones frequently serve as a natural storage device for raw magical power. They may either be used to cast a spell without tiring the magical practitioner, or to empower a spell.The book goes on to explain how to tap this power, and it seems simple enough. They apparently absorb a small amount of magic from the air over time, from nearby spells, or they may be purposefully recharged by the user. Mage magically probes the opal, and decides that it is currently full.

+1 Magical TheoristJiharo {1} - Ask lieutenant for fencing lessons.
The Clockateer asks the lieutenant for fencing lessons. He grumbles about being forced to leave his post for this worthless backwater, where he's now forced to teach civilians and useless rookies. He finally agrees to a sparring match. In his foul mood, he "accidentally" stabs The clockateer, who had little time to learn much. {10, wound determiner}

Two porters are hired. The herbalist looks the injured one over, but says that he will be perfectly fine without her help, and continues farming herbs.
The porter sent to find sand knows that all beaches are sandy for some mysterious reason, so she goes to the beach and finds lots of yellow sand.
The military finds some sort of plant with white flowers. It smells nice, so they bring some samples back.

Khan steers his loyal mount onwards, following the river. He soon comes upon a wolf. It snarls at him in terror, and backs up, one leg not touching the ground. It appears to be bleeding. {13, tame} Khan pulls out a piece of jerky and gently tosses it towards the wolf, {2} but it takes that as a hostile act and lunges towards Khan! {11-2} vs {5+3} Still unused to his mount, he doesn't manage to get out of the way in time, {8} vs {8} but the unstable and weakened wolf barely grazes his leg with its teeth.
