Traits

[S u l l a]

Where can I find out more about traits? How you get specific traits etc. Is there a guide somewhere about factors that will influence this?
What I am after is how to get "Drillmaster" and a couple of others.

Build you Academies, they give traits in abundance.

[Valerius Tiberius]

academies not really so much..... scriptoriums do man, what will it be when i build a ludus magna

[Atticus]

now someone mentioned the traits thing, i have a question too: i know you can pass some of your generals traits to another one, but how do you do that exactly?

if i drag the trait to another general, it returns to the original general again, it doesn't stay with that new general.

ideas/hints?

[S u l l a]

you sure you don't mean the "ancillaries"? These you can drag and drop between the generals. I have never tried this with traits ... never thought that was possible.

[68 Powers]

wait you can do that with ancillaries?

[S u l l a]

Just saying that you can swap retinues between generals. I do not think this is according to house rules but I must admit that I do this sometimes.

[68 Powers]

do you trade ancillaries or you give and take them?

[S u l l a]

Well, I use family members as governors and train/recruit generals for battles. When a governor gets either a movement or chirurgeon retinue I give them to the general doing battles. In the next couple of turns the governor usually get the same retinues again, so then I copy the procedure for another general if close by. Other retinues I usually leave with the governor.

I dont do this but if you have a really old governor about to die you could give away all his ancillary

[68 Powers]

yeah you can. im going to have some uber generals now!

[Valerius Tiberius]

:p go and have fun 68Powers
lt, what's your opinion about this? do you do it?

[Hesus de bodemloze]

if you place 2 generals in one city wont the younger one get some traits the same as the older gerneral? isn' t this some learning proces?

[68 Powers]

i dont know. but i have some damn good goveners now. i hope this isent against the house rules.
there is no rule saying i cant so

[The10thLegion]
