Do you know if you can get any scar or courage traits if your not commanding?Quote:

I've noticed that secondary Generals have picked up traits in battles they fought in but did not command. Usually the more epic battles. I've noticed stuff like dauntless come up, but I've never seen chiv or dread related traits added.
Again, I'm sure FactionHeir will be able to provide a detailed reply on the question.
I'm sure you can pick up both courage and scars. Fredericus von Hamburg got both in Leopold's battle with the Mongols, in which he was the only survivor of his bodyguard.
Now that was a battle. Leopold, the originial Dread Duke, versus two and half Mongol stacks. Bad Ass.
Speaking of past battles, would anyone be interested in a "My favorite battles" thread. The essential idea would be to post a link to your favorite battle, not necessarily your own, and provide sort of a director's commentary on it.
I feel it serve to illustrate some of the games earlier battles, ones that have been relegated to the back pages, and provide further insights into them.
Good god the Tavern has kicked off!!
I've just wandered in and can't help but try and escalate it a little. :laugh4:
Only commanding generals can get traits from battle. If you are commanding general of a reinforcement troop however, you will get nothing, which is why you normally want a general to engage the battle rather than a captain (SP term speaking)
That said, it would be nice if it were possible for a noncommanding general to still pick up the scar, brave and coward line of traits, or even the bloodthirsty or hemophobe ones. Sadly, this is not really possible.
Now, as for chivalrous generals, I know Ruppel has been keeping a low profile, but that's not a reason to ignore him completely! :yes:
I think we were discussing mostly the older generation of generals. Guys like Ruppel and Andreas are the future. On to a more chivalrous empire! :beam:

:chucks: that's what you think :chucks:
didn't your mumma ever teach you not to mess with ninjas?
Medieval German ninjas? :clown:
Yep, you have to step aside for the new Dieter, that von Essen fellow. ~;)
nah Austrians make pathetic ninjas, just look at Arnold. Sure he wears black and all, but that heavy armour isn't exactly easy to move around in, a ninja has to be fast. Another reason von Essen doesn't cut it is because he wants to go to Outremer, who ever heard of a crusading CHRISTIAN ninja?
:clown: (btw I think this has become the new most used smiley in this thread)
what's funny is that there are actually 3 dieter's now...
hmm... von Essen the Crusading German Medieval Ninja...
I like the sound of that. :clown:
A ninja versus the Dread Duke...how many of those little black fairies do you propose to throw at him!?? :laugh4:
Please flame Ruppel. He's new to the diet and as in mafia games, newcomers need to be lynched :laugh4:
I was going to stay out of this one and let TinCow handle it, but your wish...Quote:

Nice to see a new argument in the Diet now that the Tavern one seems to have calmed down. :beam:
Are all the Diets like this? If so, I'm going to enjoy them even more than I thought I would.
Zim, second the edict :tongue2: You are Swabian afterall.
TC, GH, its good to vent your frustration on your nemesis from the cataclysm, is it not? :grin:
Perhaps for GH, but I was able to get out all my frustrations by using the "create_unit" command. Always followed by maniacal laughter, of course.
I might be online, but Andreas is not in the Diet chamber yet. ~;p
I need to think about this IC. Is there some kind of precedent for this Edict or is it something completely shocking?

Once Herrmann spawns, I'm putting Luther to bed and put everything behind me. I promise.
Just as you put aside Jens when taking Dassel? :grin2:
Oh, I can imagine Ruppel and Herrmann at each other's throats, if not for past personalities, then for chivalry vs dread. :yes:
From the Diet thread:
GH, you definitely get a vote because you're a player in KOTR. However, it can't be as Luther, since Luther isn't (and can't be) an Elector. Your vote will go in as a simple anonymous Elector of Bavaria, since that is the House you now belong to.Quote:

PK, when you say Peter has tried to be more of a nice guy, it's because most of his dread points are in battle and he is very loyal, so he loves the Germans and wants to rape all the bad guys.
Especially when one of those little black fairies would be defending the Dread Duke. Do not mess with Dieter the Crusading German Medieval Ninja!Quote:

Too late to take it back, gibsonsg91921. We now know Peter's secret, his wish to sexually violate enemy soldiers. :clown:
Obviously I did not know what you meant by rape. :laugh4:Quote:
