I have been trhough about three threads on this matter and cannot fathom what I am doing wrong. I've been at this on and off for almost a week and now must ask for some aid.

I have checked the EDU file to make sure the general_unit and (general_unit + general_unit_upgrade) both exist, for the Gauls, the former before the latter...

I have brought forward the upgrade to the Governors_villa (Large Town rather than Minor City), a snippet of that code from the EDB file being:

...
agent diplomat 0 requires factions { roman, }
}
faction_capability
{
upgrade_bodyguard 1 requires factions { gauls, }
}
construction 2
...

but there is no upgrade available when I move the unit into the large town. I'm not sure I've ever seen anything upgrade and am not even sure how it works - I assume through "training" character units.

I have a totally clean install of R:TW patched to 1.2.

I've also tried "Barbarian" rather than "gauls", and also tried it with the Julii but nothing works.

What am I doing wrong?
