Tell me, what's happening with the "Hesitant Attacker" trait? Every one of my great generals has gotten it, and I'm on my fourth campaign in EB. I mean, some of these guys have never lost a battle, they've got eight or nine stars, they have morale-boosting stats through the roof, and then Hesitant Attacker pops up. I don't really mind, because they often have enough excess stars to fill in the gap, but it just is annoying to see a guy as great as Hamilcar Barca pegged with a trait pretty close to cowardice. Thanks for any input.
unfortunately there are no other triggers, however there are a few things that you need to take into account. first, make sure you have 7 ancillaries or less. second, movement points some characters have movement points penalties, which sometimes makes acquiring the ancillaries impossible since they need 100% movement points (i've deleted this requirement from the triggers) third, make sure that you have a government level II or III in the province to acquire the ancillaries.Quote:

For me, almost all FM who stay at academy will eventualy become scholastic and pedantic. For example, one FM, who I planned to be "Marian" reformator - Sharp/Charismatic/Vigorous Plebeius became Pedantic after two or so turns in academy in Capua. To make things worse, I loaded savegame just before he get it, He was only Erudite and I moved him out of the city. He still get Scholastic at the beginning of next turn and Pedantic shortly after.Quote:

I posted this question in another topic, but this is the right place for it, I think:
Why Romani cannot get any priest ancillaries? All romani priest ancillaries are disabled in datafiles. The data are present, but all have ";" at the start of the line.
It bothered me I never got any of them.
The Priest ancillaries were entirely reworked before the v1.0 release. It may be that the Romani priests were not yet finished...
as much as i resent cheating i need to know how to give one of my characters the popularis trait for marian reforms (out tons of generals who meet the 2 inf and command none have it).
give_trait Nvmerivs Africanvs Popularis
doesnt seem to work. probably a silly question but any hints?
You need to know the exact internal name of the guy and it isn't always what you see in game. Search the forum for some of the old threads about traits and cheats...Quote:

That's been my experience too. I also usually sit out sieges and have never had the hesitant attacker trait from doing so.Quote:

Does the trait "On his deathbed" actually kill the general?
I got an extremely high roleplaying value character "a spartan who "Excelled in Agoge" "Former member of Kryptei" "Good tactician" "Good leader" "Foul mouthed" "Stern" "Sharp/charismatic/Vigorous" Unselfish/Pessimisitc/loyal(funny because somehow he has the "Optimistic" trait).
So basically he's the perfect spartan, and while fishing for mercenaries in the Mercenary Cape, he gets the trait "On his deathbed".
If he dies I'm going to be pissed, I hope he gets "better"
I know of the "add trait" cheat, but is there a "remove trait" cheat?
Oh and heres another trait question, one of my generals has the trait "Choleric" -3 influence and apparently he's weak of spleen and annoying to other people.
So...he has cholera and he's an ass?
TRAIT..CONFUZZLES MEH.
No.Quote:

That character is either really sick or really old. If he is just sick, send him to a town and let him rest a few turns and he should return to normal.

Also, a person from the Gens Octavia also has a 75% chance of getting a point when they're offered up for marriage, has come of age, or offered for adoption.
I got the germanic trait "Shamed" seemingly out of nowhere. I mean a conquering hero warmonger expert tactician with 10 stars when attacking and 5 without who conquered all of Germany, Poland, the alps and hte Baltics shouldn't be "shamed"

There are very many ways that an army can become unsure of/unhappy with its leader, such as force marching, low supply, defeat and more.
Is there any way to get rid of a trait? In the campaign of my story one of my family members got a trait which really doesn't fit the image that i had of his character... I'd really like to cheat it away (or i'll have to pretend it is not there - or even accept it? ~:eek: ) ...
When it has an anti-trait, use cheat to give him one point in the anti-trait.
Or use:
give_trait [trait] -1
Thank you, that works ~:thumb:

Heya, I really like the great enhancement you gave with the new traits system for characters, but I also want to give some advices if you let me bother you. :D
I found sometimes Roman characters with both "plebeius" and "noble" traits in the list, which doesn't make sense... imho it should be reworked in the belonging to wealthy, rich plebs (equites) instead of poor, common plebs.
Besides, the patricians were an elite class whose families descended from the original founders of Rome. So, there should be a trigger that hinders the "plebeius" trait to be given by the game to a member of a gens like, in example, the Cornelia. ;)
The traits are "Plebeius" and "Nobile". A Roman was considered a Nobile if one of his direct ancestors had served as consul. The first consulship served by a plebeian was that of Lucius Sextius in 367 BC, so there were many, many plebeian nobiles by 272 BC.Quote:
