napoleon trait

what does the destined to rule trait do ?

nothing

I seems to remember that it is related to the fact that Napoleon is both general and leader of France. That trait is there to ensure that if he dies in battle, France does not get a new leader. Unlike those generals of the coalition whom also comes back after having been killed, as they are not leaders too.
Napoleonic France led by........ Me. It would not be very smart would it.
