Character Traits?

[Viking Prince Olaf]

To my understanding I don't feel anyone of us knows the full extent or meaning of the traits of Characters on the game. Like Chivalry determines the honor level of A character; Piety is how religious he is.


Dread is how mean and hateful he is; Command determines the chance
of victory is for auto determine battle; and morale on the battlefield.
The way I see it An army under command under A general with full Chivalry and Command is more likely not to route and fight to the death.
Subterfuge is the chance of Spies and Assasins succeding A mission.


Authority I really don't understand....., but I do know that the more stats and higher the stats of A general; the more public order the city under governance of A general has. So could anyone tell me what Authority is?

Thx to anyone who tells me, and I hope this thread will help anyone else who has A little trouble understanding Character traits.

It's how much respect your leader has among your generals and peoples, the more you have the less likely people are to rebel... Supposedly.

What I don't get the is the retinue one of my generals got the tax farmer one but all my city taxes are set to low. :hmmm: Baffling!

[Viking Prince Olaf]

It doesn't turn your taxes from low to medium it just makes your tax income increase.

[Beagle74]

What I meant was how does a character get it?
Sorry should of worded it better.

[Viking Prince Olaf]

You get it by putting A general in A settlement and building like land clearence, crop rotation, and irrigation; stuff like that.

[Beagle74]

Oh thanks for that info.
I'd rep you but I don't know how.

There Isn't one I see some scales, A light bulb and a report button.

Is there a chart or something anywhere which shows how generals get any trait and what you have to do to get it?

[Viking Prince Olaf]

No; you just pick up A few things over the years.....

Ok I'm pretty sick of sending my generals into battle and doing everything chivilrous and yet still getting things like "winning first" and I was wondering how to stop this...

When I do get the "Chivilrous in Rule" the next turn I look at "Faction anouncments and see "Trait Decrease= (Characters name) and it goes down can someone that knows about this stuff tell me?

Thanks VPO

The most annoying one is that: "Feels unappreciated" trait, it's pisses me off so much, I conquered many cities and he still won't be happy, I even put the king next to him and he still doesn't get the appreciated trait back, I might as well kill him (He's Deformed, He's In-Bred, He's dreadful, he's perverted, he has an adultress, and many many things that are horrible to describe).
Seriously, how the did I get the In-Bred one?

[Beagle74]

Oh... That's annoying I hate some of the stupid Perks I get like Shield Bearer and the like.

[Viking Prince Olaf]

Why?.........

[Beagle74]

Because it makes your general look like a puff and your units take a moral hit.

I'm probably just nitpicking though.
