Captured Eagles

[Apio Claudio]

When we fight aganst a rebel roman army and we capture an eagle what's the porpose of it ? noticed that the eagles that i capture go to the nearest city but does it has any effect besides the trait granted to de general ?

[Ferdiad]

No.(AFAIK)

[Apio Claudio]

Then it's just simbolic ?

[Ferdiad]

They give traits and ephitats.

[Proconsul Gaius]

They give the Eagle Taker trait, at least in RTR. Adds to morale/influence or something for generals.

Well, if there is a similarity between RS1 and RS2 then TYPICALLY taking an eagle does several things.

It gives traits and epitaphs, as mentioned. It also (after being sent to the nearest settlement) makes the Roman faction assosciated with that eagle more likely to attack it again. Essentially, it lowers the base relationship with that faction, making them more apt to attack you.
