    Default Faction Announcments doesnt Announce new Ancillary

    this is very bizarre. I have no idea why this happening and would really appreciate some guidance/help/crazy theories with this. I've added a new ancillary to the ancillaries files and although the it appears in game and has the desired effects it is not announced in the "faction announcements" at the beginning of the turn which is slightly annoying.
    Here's the entries:
    in export_descr_ancillaries
    ;------------------------------------------
    Ancillary sigurd
    Image sigurd.tga
    ExcludeCultures carthaginian, nomad, hun, eastern, roman
    Description sigurd_desc
    EffectsDescription sigurd_effects_desc
    Effect BodyguardValour 1

    ;------------------------------------------
    Trigger trigger_sigurd
    WhenToTest CharacterTurnEnd
    Condition EndedInSettlement
    and SettlementBuildingExists = bardic_circle
    and FactionType saxons
    and not WorldwideAncillaryExists sigurd
    and IsGeneral

    AcquireAncillary sigurd chance 100
    -------------
    and from text/export ancillaries
    ---------------
    {sigurd} Sigurd

    {sigurd_desc}
    The legendary Dragonslayer

    {sigurd_effects_desc}
    +1 Bodyguard Valour
    ----------
    and from the enums
    -----------
    sigurd
    sigurd_desc
    sigurd_effects_desc
    -------------------------------------------
    now as far as I can see that is fine and should work. with a 100% chance of "sigurd" being given to a saxon general in a settlement with a bardic circle and it works it just doesn't announce it as mentioned.

    now this is the slightly wierd bit if I remove this line from the trigger:
    ----------------
    and not WorldwideAncillaryExists sigurd
    ---------------
    as you'd expect I get a "sigurd" ancillary on each saxon general in a settlement with a bardic circle only then it does announce them all in the "faction announcement" screen. but if I have only one general in a suitable settlement he alone acquires sigurd but it doesn't get announced. if there is another "faction announcement" being made such as a birth, death, new trait or another ancillary is acquired by any character it will tell me about them all and also sigurd. so in effect he is only not "announced" when he's the only announcement to be made.

    if anyone has anythoughts on this I'd really appreciate them as it's driving me up the wall.

    ----edit----
    in case it isn't clear if I have two suitable settlements/generals and the only two faction announcments are acquiring two sigurds then they are announced as normal.
