Playing EB 1.2 as the Romani, I'm preparing the Marian reforms. I have been carefully grooming 3 candidates (all sharp/charismatic/vigorous and Plebeian) that will be in their late 50s/early 60s by 172 BC, by which time I hope at least one of them will be Consul or ex-Consul. Two of the candidates have become Popularis. My star candidate (the youngest and thus the least likely to die of old age before 272 BC), however, does not seem to get Popularis, and I'm wondering if he has acquired another trait that is mutually exclusive with Popularis:
Any thoughts/suggestions?
