right - but take the drinking hall - mead hall line of buildings. Say I'm playing vikings. I can't remember which one it is , but say I have the one which allows me to build Viking Landsmenn and (+whatever) valor. It didn't seem like the Landsmenn got the valor bonus. Or is it only the carls/spearmen that get the bonus. That's where my confusion lies - primarily with the infantry and the royal palace threads of upgrades.

The archer/horse ones are pretty self-explanatory. Sorry to make you waste time by stating the obvious. I should have been more specific - which infantry get the bonus with the mead halls and what units get bonuses with the royal palace upgrades.

Shoot - I just deleted all my save game because I just won it. I stopped paying detailed attention since I was rushing to finish the game. Oh well - I'm preparing to try (again) to make this game more challenging. Seems like the Welsh, Picts, or Scots are the way to go.

Also, why is it that when I have a great general die of old age, he is merely replaced with the exact same stats, v&v's, but just with a different name. With all due respect, This is retarded. Is there some way to mod it so that when a general dies, he actually DIES?
