'Broken' Battle Dread?

[michaeljassonsklt]

New to this forum, something strange happen here. I'm byzantine attacking rebels with odds 2.5, one trigger for BattleDread trait is win the battle with odd more than 1.5. Why I don't get that trait? I'm also already try another trait with england, fight in same odds, win, not get that trait? Eny help will appreciated

Hi, and welcome!

There's a chance you get the trait, but it's like 30% or something. Try to fight some other battles with these odds and you should get the trait after some tries.

Still, have no luck though. Already try it many times with my supErior army. Maybe I press something when opening game files? Where can I see trigger for that trait?

[Adamat]

If you reload the same battle over and over again, it won't work. You really have to fight another battle.

Oh well, ok, gonna find some more trouble. And I'm also never got berseker trait, though my general usually lost many much hp. Should be something wrong with my game, maybe I should reinstall if your suggestion don't work sadiq? Because it should very easy to get dreaded man, especially in battle.

On coming of age, a general can gain a point in Berserker. If he is from Denmark, with 3% probability; if he is from Hungary, with 5% probability; if he is from Spain, with 6% probability. If a family member loses more than 30% of his hit points and gets more than ten kills in a battle, and has less than one level of BattleChivalry and less than one level of Berserker, he gains a point of Berserker. If a family member with one or more levels of Berserker and less than one level of BattleChivalry loses more than 30% of his hit points and gets more than six kills in a battle, he gains a point in Berserker with 33% probability.If a family member with more than zero levels of Berserker does not personally participate in a battle, he loses a point of Berserker with 33% probability.

A general offered for adoption or lesser adoption gains a point of BattleDread with 50% probability if he does not have any levels of BattleChivalry. Note that this is called after the trigger to gain BattleChivalry on adoption, so it is more likely that he gets BattleChivalry
than BattleDread on adoption. If he gains this point, he gains 2 more points with 33% probability.If a general with no levels of BattleChivalry kills eight or more enemies in a battle, he gains a point of BattleDread with 50% probability. If a general loses a battle in which the general did not kill any of the enemy, and the total number of enemy killed is less than 10%, he loses a point of BattleDread. If a general routs in battle and kills less than 8 enemies, and the total number of enemy killed is less than 33%, he loses 2 points of BattleDread. If a general routs in a battle with odds greater than .75, kills less than 8 enemies, and his army kills less than or equal to 66% but greater than or equal to 33% of the enemy, he loses a point of BattleDread. If a general with no levels of BattleChivalry attacks an enemy and kills more than 50% of them in a battle with odds greater than 1.5 he gains a point of BattleDread. If a general with no levels in BattleChivalry wins a normal battle in which he hit at least one enemy, the battle success was crushing or greater, the odds less than .95, and he killed more than 70% of the enemy, he gains 2 points of BattleDread. If a general with no levels in BattleChivalry wins a battle with a success rating of average or greater, the odds were less than .95, he did not fight in the combat, and killed less than 20% of the enemy, he loses a point of BattleDread.

Basically, it means you should use your general in battles, and pray you get lucky.

Does capturing enemy count as killing them? Btw, much thanks to you Adamat ! Sadly, I don't know how to rep you.

[Adamat]

I don't think that does, but if you capture and then execute them once the battle is over, you have a chance of getting dread as well.

Don't worry about the rep
