I'm having a somewhat similar problem like Stonehouse and Judojack5...Every soldier has its armor and weapon randomized, some low level troops have chain mail, horses and weapons that are not normally in their inventory(Fures have better armor and weapons than piratea)...I downloaded the new SVN yesterday and I started a fresh game.
What's wrong with the balkans? We have beautiful
weather, nice beaches, astonishing hairy girls, great
culture, great history, glorious ancestors etc...
