Red Spot, I think the dissappearence of your "can sap" there is because there are no more 'abilities' slots left. The last slot of your Legionary Archers' abilities is taken by "hardy".

reading between the lines I take it that you mean I can only assigne 4 atributes, or do you mean only 4 will show up in the "at a glance" bit??

anyway as example an "vanilla" upgraded general;

type             carthaginian general's cavalry
dictionary       carthaginian_generals_cavalry      ; General's Armoured Bodyguard
category         cavalry
class            heavy
voice_type       General_1
soldier          carthaginian_royal_cavalry, 12, 0, 1
mount            generals horse
mount_effect     elephant -8, camel -4
attributes       sea_faring, general_unit, hide_forest, hardy, general_unit_upgrade
formation        1.5, 4, 3, 6, 3, square
stat_health      2, 0
stat_pri         11, 6, no, 0, 0, melee, simple, piercing, spear, 25 ,1
stat_pri_attr    no
stat_sec         12, 5, no, 0, 0, melee, simple, piercing, sword, 25 ,1

stat_charge_dist 40
stat_fire_delay  0
stat_food        60, 300
stat_cost        1, 1040, 80, 110, 160, 1040
ownership        carthage, spain, numidia

thats 5 atributes, though ofcourse most normally dont show up in the "at a glance" bit ...

more testing to do .......


Edit;
still havent done the archer thing, but there are a few things I've experianced in combat based on a few simple EDU tweaks that I tought might be interesting, dont know for sure if I should post it here .... anyway ..

-setting charge distance for regular infantry to something like 15 and spear to ~5 makes them charge in a much smoother "grouped" fashion, keeping unit formation intact even in the charge, even with my formation withs (0.8,1.2inf--0.8,0.8spear)
I was actually impressed by their charge and it "seemed"(untested) to reflect in combat-results as well
