The Brasidas aura is severely bugged I experienced this issue too. My particular experience went as follows.

Play #16 I am Brasidas. Brasidas dies and is reborn. Save the game. Notice that the starting level 1 aura is gone. Do the side quest. Select level 1 infantry aura.

Play #17. Do the side quest. Get level 2 infantry aura.

Play #18 and notice that it is quite hard on hard. If only brasidas had level 3 aura! Check the wiki. Oh, I should have obtained that by now.

Replay #16. This time take care that Brasidas does not die. Get level 2 infantry aura.

Replay #17. Do side quest. Strangely enough only level 2 infantry aura can be selected at the smithies. However, Brasidas does get level 3 aura.

Replay #18. Brasidas still has level 3 aura.

PLay #19. Brasidas is dead but Lysander gets level 3 aura. So far so good.

Play #20. Lysander suddenly only has level 2 aura, losing a massive area of influence, the attack speed bonus and the healing bonus.

Having the obtained bonus removed during the campaign sucks the fun out of playing. A shame, I really liked the campaign progression for Artaxerxes and Themistocles. I really do enjoy chronicles and I think it is by far the best campaign DLC released so far. But this is a bit annoying.

I notice that when I reload the level 19 autosave, the aura is completely gone for Lysander. I have no clue how the aura effects are tracked for the Spartan part of the campaign, but it does not work properly.
I’d love to upload the savegame, but new users cannot upload attachments. If any of the devs read this: please contact me. I program for a living so I can provide detailed information if asked.
