Thanks folks. I do realize the ownage a high valoured K. unit can deliver and I've been on the recieving end of their ouchies before, but I was still a little peeved by the way they cut their way through one and a half units of sergeants and some militia and come out with half the unit intact. I just never experienced it quite like that before. I re-checked the save game and almost all spearmen were valour 0 and the general had no stars, lol. I'm playing a sucession game with my friend but he only likes the campaign part and doesn't build great troops.

I'll chalk it up to too many things working against me then, since that same turn I was greeted by civil war and an attack from the bloody Pope. Time to start a new campaign me thinks.

I've read somewhere that Command stares negate morale penalties or give positive morale of their own. Is this true? Ive been playing medieval for years but I never knew all of such specific numbers (lost the manual ages ago, heh).
