I have a 5-star general with +1 to Command virtue. When he attacks, that is, when I move him to attack into a province, the virtue works and it shows he has 6 stars. Yet, when I hit end turn and the computer asks how I want to fight the battle, he's back to 5 stars. Further, on the battlefield 6 stars should result in a increase of 3 to valor for the units. That doesn't work, either. Have any others noticed this bug?

Yes, i think the skilled attacker virute(s) don't work. I think the defender vitues work in attack and defence. Not too good eh? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/pissed.gif

No MonkeyMan, the defensive virtues only work on defense, you can see the stack loses stars when attacking.

But yes, I have noticed this problem... that is a very serious one when you have a Specialist Attacker.

Oh i know the stars work on the strat map fine, but pay attention to what happens in a battle resulting from this. Give it a go and really pay attention to your generals rank on F1 or cas screen.

I've noticed alot of times that the V&V of my generals aren't doing what their suppossed to. This is good when a bad one doesn't seem to be having it suppossed effect, but bad when you've got a useful virtue not working. Anyone else see this happening alot?

MacGregor, have you got the patch installed?

If so then give a few examples. This was supposed to have been corrected in the patch.

Yeah I have the patch, I'll have to check the specifics but as I remember it's basic stuff like + to piety and things like that. It's not that they never work, but there have been times when they don't seem to be right. I also wish they'd get rid of people being able to have opposite vices and virtues. It's hard to be both a Great Leader and Coward or a Heretic and Devout.

one theory is some virtues and vices may be hidden,
ALSO
there is another theory that if you have other leaders in the same stack with bad effect V&V's then they all acumulate - annoying that good virtues don't accumulate,

please post this in the bug thread down in the dungeon (it's pinned near the top of the page)
