    Default Calvin's New Trait Depository

    I need to keep myself organised, and also the team updated. So all the new traits will be organised in this thread. The other one should be used for discussion and updates, this one just for storage and organisational purposes.

    ¬--------------------

    {Very_Good_Commander} Gifted Battlefield Tactician

    {Very_Good_Commander_desc}
    Victory is a familiar friend to this man, who has demonstrated tactical expertise many times on the battlefield. His men under his command are confident in his leadership, as he is himself.

    +4 Command, +3 Influence, +3 TroopMorale, +1 Law

    ¬--------------------

    {Inspirational_Commander} Inspirational Battlefield Tactician

    {Inspirational_Commander_desc}
    While others may win a handful of battles, this man can take seemingly insurmountable odds and walk away victorious. He has done so on many occasions. No matter what the enemy does, no matter what terrain his army is in, he seems prepared and able to respond in a decisive and crushing way to swing battles into his favour and ultimately victory. His battle tactics will be copied and referred to for centuries to come.

    {Bad_Commander} Poor Battlefield Tactician

    {Bad_Commander_desc}

    ¬--------------------

    {Brave} Leads From the Front

    {Brave_desc}
    Taking charge of a battle means fighting on the front lines to this man. Preferring to devise the strategy before the battle is fought, he inspires the men under his command by using his own sword to help forge victory.

    +3 TroopMorale

    ¬--------------------

    {Coward} Coward

    +2 Influence, -1 TroopMorale

    ¬--------------------

    ¬--------------------

    {Populist_General} Populist General

    {Populist_General_desc}

    +2 TroopMorale

    ¬--------------------

    {Arrogant_General} Arrogant General

    {Arrogant_General_desc}
    This man can win battles and he knows it. His supreme confidence in his own abilities causes him to look down upon his subordinates as inferior, and his outrageously opinionated comments enrage many involved in politics. However a man as highly skilled as him cannot be ignored and he is often given command, albeit reluctantly.

    {Arrogant_General_effects_desc}
    +1 Command, -2 Influence

    ¬--------------------

    -2 Command, -2 Management, -2 Influence

    ¬--------------------

    {Sober} Sober

    {Sober_desc}

    -1 Influence

    ¬--------------------

    {Lazy} Procrastinator

    {Lazy_desc}
    The idea of a full days work exhausts this man before he steps out of bed. Rather preferring to leave necessary tasks until right before, or right after they're needed, he is not renowned as much of a statesman.

    {Lazy_effects_desc}
    -1 Management
