cathedral of valor not working?

from GalCiv2 Forums
hi, just finished a game with arceans and I dont think the cathedral of valor works, I had three class 14-20 planets that where full of them and one on each planet I owned (about 15), but they seemed to do nothing to my soldiering. I've checked in the improvement editor and it says the +2% bonus is given, but the game seems to do otherwise.

I will add a question:

Is the bonus general or planetary? Planetary would mean it just adds to the transports launched from that planet, which could explain why you might have overseen the bonus.

I've encountered the same thing, couldn't see any evidence at all of it working.

Planetary-only bonus doesn't seem all that useful to me, unless you can get your hands on a very good planet: enough cathedrals to make an impact, enough or advanced enough farms + pop. growth boosters for a ready supply of soldiers, morale buildings for the (temporarily) enlarged population, navigation centre, and enough factories to get all this and transports built too.

Cumulative bonus would seem a bit overpowerde to me. In a big galaxis make a few planets full of these and you could multiply your soldiering. I do not believe the AI could keep up with this by any means.

Long term, I think optimal play is still to not waste tiles on them and put stock markets up instead. With tidal disrupters and maxed ground combat tech, you can win ground battles when you need to anyway. If this is broken it should be fixed though.
