Two questions

[caravel]

Has anyone spotted any of those on a green general (a.i. other than a historical hero or an initial king) ?

I can't remember specific ones, but many v&vs only start to get common once your empire gets much larger. "Hero" generals would be an exception because they come pre-programmed with their starting v&vs.

Is it possible to modify provincial bonuses without any editor by just modifying a text file ? If yes could you point me out towards the thread where that would be explained (looked in the apothecary but could not find an answer). I cannot download anything and would like to modify the useless bonuses for foot knights.

Many thanks in advance,

It is possible but cumbersome and error prone. You should try downloading the gnome editor and open the crusaders_unit_prod11.txt file (back it up before you change it). Go to column 13 row 55 and clear "ILE_DE_FRANCE", save and close the file. Fire up the game and the provincial valour bonus will be gone.
