Negative valour

[Ironside]

In a Welsh campaign I had a former hier with 6-stars and the vice gluttony, wich made him start the battle with valour -1. The weird part is that his combat stats was 1 attack, 0$ defense http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif and not 3,2$ (he had no upgrades).
To make it even more weird did my general gains 3 valour during the battle and after the battle he had combat stats of 5,4$, while being valour 2.

I've got screeshots of this but I can't upload it

And now when I check the screenshots, I see that all my units got one stat lower than they should http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

A valour 4 celtic warrior without upgrades got 8,1$ and the value for valour 0 is 5,-2$.
valour 1 6,-1$
valour 2 7,0$
valour 3 8,1$
valour 4 9,2$
or did I miss something? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-juggle.gif

I believe, you were hit by the bug(?) that makes the effect of general's stars be inconsistent... The strategy guide says, that a unit gains +1 battlefield valor for every 2 general's stars: in practice it sometimes works, sometimes does not...

In your case, it seems, your units did not get the +1 battlefield valor effect from your general's 3 stars. Note, that whith this bug, the valor effect on F1 screen displays right, it's the attack and defense bonuses that do not display right...

I started a topic on this here a while ago but no conclusive answer to this issue was provided.

Well, I got a 2 valour bonus displayed instead of my real 3 valour bonus http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-toff.gif. That display bug would might explain it.

But it doesn't explain why my general had so extremely low stats.

But when I think about it, it might. The morale was consistant, going from 6 to 12 during the battle. So if the combat stats was bugged, but the morale wasn't bugged, it might do some sense.
