Exactly where on the bottom bar? Where the unit name is (the yellow/gold "plate" on the very bottom)?

If its where the unit name should be, that text comes from the OOB, so if there's something wacky there I suspect something in the OOB file's fields aren't aligned quite right.

If you could do a screenshot of some sort that would be good.

I think that number represents the success chance the unit has to change formation without becoming disordered. The higher the number the lower the chance the unit will become disordered if you tell it to change from column to line or square to column, etc. You only see it if its less than 100. If I remember correctly, current fatigue rate, unit quality, and being in range of enemy units have some bearing on this number.
