All of my campaigning generals eventually get this trait, which has a 1-in-3 chance of being acquired each turn a general spends outside a settlement.

Will building a fort count as a "settlement" to keep them from getting this trait?

What faction? NONE of my Romani generals ever got that trait, and some were on campaign for years at a time. I also think that a fort would count as a settlement, though I never build them usually.

It's a Hellenic trait. And I should have said "all of my uncharismatic campaigning generals".

No, you have a 1 in 33.3 chance of getting it every turn you spend outside a settlement, IF you are uncharismatic. Biggest chance of getting it is inheriting from the father or through ethnic traits.
