Improved general's bodyguard? Not working?

When do you get this? Not after marius reforms (though the Imp Pal says that it "provides" the improved guard).

Most of my games go very quickly, so if it's time dependent, i haven't experienced it yet.

You got them when you build a big enough Governor's house.

No that's the same as the marius reforms.

The Imp Pal description says that it provides improved general's bodyguards, but it does not seem to do so. I've tried combo circus/imp pal, and I've tried moving the capital to the city with imp pal and/or circ max, but still all the generals ahve the same old stats.

For what it's worth I should add that retraining does nothing. (or actually, is not even possible unless there are other upgrade, e.g. blacksmith, that the general unit is missing)

edit2: come to think of it, does retraining generals work? i recall retraining generals on a number of occasions, but I don't recall ever seeing armor or weapon upgrades on them.

I have retrained faction members many times. They get any upgrades other like cav would get.
