Tie a unit/building to a trait.

Is it possible to tie a unit on the strat map, with a trait?
Like if an army have a roman legionary, the commander gained the trait "Legion Commander" or whatever else the name?
Would this work with this?

Code:

Identifier:              UnitType
Trigger requirements:    resource_description
Parameters:              unit type ('type' from export_descr_units.txt)
Sample use:              UnitType roman archer auxillia
Description:             Tests if a unit is of a particular type
Battle or Strat:         Either
Class:                   UNIT_TYPE
Implemented:             Yes

Or this one?

Code:

Identifier:              I_NumberUnitsInSettlement
Trigger requirements:    
Parameters:              settlement, unit type (UNIT_DESCRIPTION.id), logic token, quantity
Sample use:              I_NumberUnitsInSettlement Tarquinii roman_city_militia < 5
Description:             How many units are in the settlement?
Battle or Strat:         Strat
Class:                   NUMBER_UNITS_IN_SETTLEMENT
Implemented:             Yes

Also, is it possible to do that a building has a bonus only if a trait is present on the governor.
Example : The same general with his "Legion Commander" trait is governor of a town. Then you can recruit the legionary in the barracks?

No and no unfortunately. The second can be done with M2TW though.

I thought the second wouldn't work, but why would the first one not work?
It seems both triggers are checking whether a certain unit is present or not.

Because of the trigger requirements and more specifically the events which export them are not events which tell you what units the current army is composed of. The only events which export "resource_description" are unit training events, which only says you've recruited a unit of a certain type, but doesn't tell you anything about army composition.
