That's a problem with balance. I didn't play RTW that much, but I got the impression promotions were too easy and too numerous. I think the earlier games were better balanced in that respect.
The promotion system in the earlier games was also more logical, units got valour for knocking off lots of soldiers and other heroic feats. In RTW, valour seems to be assigned more or less randomly, which I found really disappointing.
