Improved general's bodyguard? Not working?

has no one seen an improved general?

should have stats the same as praetorian cav (12 atk, 22 def) except 2 hp rather than 1.

On a slightly related note, has anyone figured out the pattern for number of genral bodyguards and their regeneration rates?
I have found mixed behaviors, some Generals replenish their losses quickly some don't, i have great generals with bodyguards not going over 16, while others would rise (my first impression was that it was proportional to experience).
Faction leader seems to be consisten has he always has 40-50 bodyguards (Romans only, so far).

I've had a general with 60 bodyguards, and he wasn't my faction leader.

faction leader and heir get extra bodyguards. if you don't mind the -1 influence (disinherited trait), you can switch faction heirs back and forth and get all your gneerals extra bodyguards.

Recognized the problem with upgrades as well, I didn´t get any better generals with the Scipii, Greeks and Parthians, especially with the greeks it was bad, their generals couldn´t even stand to rebel-generals, so I was hoping for the upgrade, but I got none, similar with the Parthians, my generals still look somehow like persian cav with spears, but as I know from single battles they should at least look like cataphracts after you got the Imperial Palace. Perhaps a bug?
