Traits and Ancilaries

**Boriak** · March 15, 2010, 03:39 PM

I'm looking for explanation on triggers for various traits. For instance: why does a general become bored and how do I fix it?

I looked at the Trait list that is loadable on EB main page but it's written in a way that doesn't tell me much. Is there a place where this stuff is written so I don't have to ask about every trait?

I looked at that file. It's written the same way as the trait list on EB's page. I guess there's not simpler way to write it.

Ok, here's a direct question. I have a Roman general that I'm keeping in a town as a governor. Every so often he gets a trait Uncofortable Supervisor. He's in a town and he wants to be moved in a city. I have the same issue in my Ptolemaic campaign. I have a governor in a town, he wants to be in a city. Is city size what's causing this?

I have te same question about "unconfortable humanitarian". Why oh why do you become uncomfortable, and how do I reverse it?

I don't think it has anything to do with the size of the city, I just checked, on my Romani campaign I've had a really really good governor, in a city, acquire that trait.

I think it happens to bored or energetic/vigorous generals, that probably want to see some action.

Ironically, the said general in my campaign was 63. He had been in that settlement for 40 years, waited till he was 63 to acquire that trait. Some rebels sprung up, I got him out of the settlement to fight them. He did, and then died the next turn right outside his settlement.... haha.

I've to disagree, as far as I have observed it, this trais is a question of citiysize. If you take your governor to a city one or two times bigger than that he actually governs he loses this trait. I think the better a governor is the more he needs a bigger city.

Maybe you mean 'satisfied/unsatisfied supervisor' in lieu of 'unsatisfied humanitarian'?

I have literally just had a governonr, and a really good one at that, acquire that trait whilst staying in a Type 1 Government huge city, most advanced palace and population of 40K+.

Oh, yes, you're right, I thought you had answered this question:

My apologies, I personally never had the "unsatisfied humanitarian" trait, so i can not say anything about it.

Someone please tell me what causes these traits and if it is possible to manipulate them in any manner.
