Retinues don't get bonus from cultural buildings

[Sn3ipen]

In my Sweden game my HI levies in the capital get the 10% combat modifiers from the cultural building and 10% from tech. At the same time my my standing army get the bonus from tech, but not from the cultural building.

This is kinda strange since now my heavy infantry levies are better than my HI standing army.

Is this WAD or a bug?

I also found a bug where I lost Norway in succession. I am using 5800 of my retinue but got a cap on 3275.

So I am over the limit with 2525.

The retinues are going back to full strength again after a war and I got no penalties for doing this.

The cultural buildings only apply to the unit levy of that particular barony in which it is built.

The cultural retinue (for the scandinavians it is a housecarl retinue i think) that retinue gets a bonus equal to that of a fully upgraded cultural building. Another note, ONLY THE CULTURAL RETINUE GETS ANY BONUSES. For example, if you recruit a "shock retinue" it will not get the bonuses that the "housecarl retinue" gets.

as far as i know it is working as intended

I have noticed this too, but I assume it is not a bug. They probably just never bothered to add any kind of modifier if this happens (and they probaby have trouble forcing retinues to disband if this happens)

Thanks. I guess have to dig into this and crush these numbers.

The easiest way to fix this could have been to force me to disband them by giving me penalties like pay twice the amount it costs to recruit them, even when they are at full strength... and give me a dropdown warning. It doesn't make any sense to not get a penalty for being way over the force limit.

I think is WAD actually, its possible to end up (either through inheritance or loss of titles) with a standing army larger than what you could field normally.
