Alliance 'upgades' not counting

[jacko667]

I have just upped my centralisation level and was hoping to start producing heavy troops.  My melee attack is showing +1 (from the alliance) but this does not seem to be recognised and the system tells me I need the next level of melee attack.  The same goes for range attack level.  Why is the upgrade from the alliance technologies not being accepted?

if you read alliance technologies description, you will see that those lvls are counted in battle, but not as requirement for getting higher lvl units.

Thank you - another classic example of RTFM on my part!
