Normally I only worry about stats that enhance provinces or morale not valour. However two big events lately have shifted my focus somewhat.
First I had a bribed general who was Sybrite... -2 valour so I ended up fielding a guy with -1 valour... doh
Later playing Almos on Expert my prince with 7 stars and a few virtues goes to war.
Most of the troops look pretty decent (mainly AUMs plus extras), my Ghulam bodyguard weighs in at 15 valour.
It was a very nice surprise (first 3 virtues all add +2 valour) to say the least... so apart from avoiding catapults and suicide rushes at spearmen in the center, this guy can charge around where I like (well with 34 morale he can be a tad impetous).
