The Worst Men of Europa Barbarorum 0.8x Thread

Hi there, I have noticed that we have got a "The Best Men of Europa Barbarorum 0.8x" glorifying the famous generals that EB players have bred up from nothingness, but we don't have a thread naming and shaming those awful characters which have totally no potential, are hopeless or are just utter pure failures. So this is the place my dear generals to show off the characters that are Selfish, Pessimistic and Disloyal and the generals which are Dull, Uncharismatic and Lazy. I look forward to seeing them.
Cheers.

I'm going to own this thread... Just wait and see.

not a got a screenie but i had a generl leading an expedition to asia minor for Rome, and he got a trait that reduces his movement he is now hiding on the fleet and cannot get off so i just pretended he sent the army foward under command under his second in command

I had a general who had a series of movement penalty traits. I stuck him on a fleet to cross from Antioch to Alexandria. The trip took 2 years - 8 turns.
They were moving about 3 squares a turn.

Cheater! :laugh4: That army should come back to Rome, slowly, very slowly. :laugh4:

I'd probably also love to see (maybe later) a "worst candidates for adoption/son-in-law". There are some that are so incredibly bad that it's laughable - I can just imagine someone making the proposition standing next to this guy, and one of your advisors telling you (the king) all the horrible stuff this guy does. Then politely saying "no thanks". Unless you're incredibly desperate and just want another unit of Hetairoi. :grin:

I had a guy like that. He was a good general, but his movement was shit. I think between various traits he had negative movement, with winter, tired, and being sick. Several times when I was sailing him from Ireland to Spain, the navy couldn't move at all for at least 1 turn. I had to rest him for a few turns to get ride of the exhausted trait, then move. And forget about it during winter.

I had that happen too, though they were moving about two spaces and completely stopped in winter. I was trying to get a half dozen family members to asia minor, but I had to drop 60 year old "Corpulentus" off at Crete just to get the fleet moving.
