Just checked the files, CBR is correct, no cavalary attack bonus. The armor piercing is there though.






Anyway, in SP setting fully upgraded, teched up units is as easy as finding an appropriate province (one with iron deposits) and building the neccessary buildings. It's a time consuming initial investment - but once you've got the facilities manufactured, you can pump out troops with abandon. With Valour, the best you can do is a +1 in an appropriate province. After that, the only way to gain more real valour is combat. Which means that getting extra valour is decidely more complicated and time consuming then weapon/armor/morale upgrades. I've gotten one or two units that gained signifigant valour in the campaign, but seldom more. By comparision, I can easily get vast stacks of +4/+4 weapon/armor upgraded troops just by holding Iberia and building.

Getting upgraded weapon/armor troops, and higher class troops in the campaign is therefore as easy as building the correct buildings and pressing the build button. Getting valour of more then 1 requires considerable combat. This is of course, discounting the honor bonus from generals - but that's not really the same as valour bought in a skirmish.


Though, if all this is true, then it sounds to me like the MP version needs a major price scheme overhaul. But I'm mainly a campaign mode guy, so I'm probably not one to ask.
