You need the highest level of the lazyness trait.

Characters don't get titles for no reason and usually it has something to do with their TRAITS. Therefore perhpas you could try looking for a trait with a similar, or the same name, in the traits list before. Or alternatively you could try an internet definition by googling it.

Corpulent means portly or stout (i.e. fat). I'll let you form your own conclusion!

Hi there.
As earlier explained by others it means that the general has developed some nasty habits. It is a player created problem how ever, as it means you do not use your general enough. Keep him in combat shape, most times that will sufice (a good hint:those pesky rebel stacks with in your regions, use a small infantry army and place the lazy general in command, and mow down those rebels. That also helps on your economy

).

oh... it is simple as that... I know what corpulent means...

It's just that I am thinking of something else.. I thought they're different since it is written in Latin form.

Something similar with Augustus, I thought there was once a roman named Corpulentus.. haha...

Does anyone know if there actually was a roman named Corpulentus or Infortunatus?

Those are 'agnomenes', which means that men received them as nicknames, rather than receiving them congenitally. A Roman man who ate in excess might have earned the title 'Corpulentus' if he were famous enough, so it is entirely possible that Roman men had those names. To my knowledge, however, none of them are recorded.
