Yes, levels was the wrong word.

Oh, no just that neither barracks nor suntzu ever affect something that
is already veteran (1 level).

Btw, I just found out that Civ3 has only Normal, Veteran, Elite.
Beyond Elite, there's a chance of a named leader emerging. It could
be fun to assign a leader to an "army" to increase all army members'
strength - and limit the number of possible members. I think some
other related game has that. It'd be fun to have Napoleon, if the
translators want to come up with historical names.
