General question about Kislev commander traits

[odyseusz79]

I've looked through the export_desc_character_traits file and it looks like the Kislevite commander traits (Gran, Zach, Ataman, Boy etc.) are triggered by characters losing battles in a decisive fashion, rather than winning them. Is this intentional?

Most likely it is intentional.

I've though more about it and now it makes sense. These traits will most likely be triggered in a situation where a Kislev general with a cavalry army of mostly ungols and militias does a hit-and-run attack on a stronger army. If the Kislev army only fights until it runs out of ammunition, and then withdraws, it will count as a loss, maybe even a crushing defeat, which would trigger the traits. However, this is still a viable strategy for Kislev, so with these traits, this strategy is rewarded, rather than punished.
