  Received a Bifrost bonus that said Upgrade 2 Varangian Guard Camps from free, however when upgrading from sentry camp, there is no option to "upgrade Varangian Guard Camp"

  1 - Bifröst, Coop
  2,3,4 - Win10, DirectX, reproducible but not relevant
  
  Clan Specific: Gardariki:
  
  There is a bonus in the Conquest and Bifröst reward pool, to upgrade 2 **Varangian Guard camps** for free.
  
  It does not work, obviously, because the bonus that already exists and works for the Kingdom clans is the bonus to upgrade **Sentry Camps ** for free.
  Please remove this bonus that does not work and can never work due to how Kingdom clans upgrade their camps to specialize them.
  
  Or, add a 2nd tier of Varangian Camp Upgraded, that raises their stats to 25atk/30def/200hp :) So that I can make use of this upgrade bonus.

  Every description for upgrading a camp that says 'Upgrade a {specialized kingdom camp} for free is wrong and/or doesn't work.
  
  i.e.
  Upgrade a {Fantassin/Champion/Archer/Varangian Guard} camp for free
  
  They make no sense, they are already the upgraded form.
  
  The bonus should read something like
  
  'You can upgrade {1/2} Sentry Camp(s) into a {Fantassin/Champion/Archer/Varangian Guard} camp for free'
  
  OR
  'You can specialize {1/2} camps into a {Fantassin/Champion/Archer/Varangian Guard} camp for free'
  
  Only the upgrade a Sentry Camp for free description makes sense, because upgraded forms of the Sentry Camp actually exist.
  
  Similarly the Gardariki/Hippogriff middle conquest bonus contains this incorrect description.
  
  The current wording implies the existence of Upgraded Fantassin/Champion/Archer/Varangian Guard camps as if there is a second tier of upgrading like the Great Tower lower from Horse.

  Conquest/Bifröst
  
  The bonus 'Upgrade 2 Varangian Guard camps for free' (I didn't encounter the silver variant that gives you 1 upgrade in bifrost) does not stack with other free camp bonuses or just does not work at all.
  
  It is also phrased strangely, see https://northgard.featureupvote.com/suggestions/648710/most-upgrade-a-kingdom-camp-bonus-for-free-descriptions-are-wrong-linguistically
  
  Regardless, combining the following bonuses:
  
  Setup:
  -Bifrost or Conquest mode ->
  
  -Gardariki 2nd conquest bonus 'upgrade 1 Varangian Guard Camp for free'
  -3rd Military Path known as Legions to most, which gives you 1 free global camp upgrade
  -The above mentioned Conquest bonus 'Upgrade 2 Varangian Guard camps for free'
  
  Expected outcome:
  Being able to upgrade 1+1+2 (4 total) Sentry camps INTO Varangian Guard camps
  
  Actual outcome:
  Only 2 Sentry Camps can be upgraded into Varangian Guard camps for free, then it costs regular price (10 stone/8 with carpentry mastery etc)
