If you look at the conditions for getting Imperator, there is not any requirement for high influence. High influence only affects probability he will be summoned back to Rome after he was named Imperator and other conditions were met , to be called Triumphator.

Guys, I'll give you a unique tip in getting the Imperator trait. It's borders on cheating but what the hell.

To get Imperator trait, anytime, you just walkup to the enemy army, seperate general from the army. Attack the enemy by using general only and have the army appear as reinforcement. Use auto-resolve, and I guarantee that every time you'll get an imperator trait.

Well, that is, of course, the god-awful AI-biased auto resolve doesn't butcher your own troops instead.

1 on 1 ratio against Eleutheroi, no chance of loosing.

Wow, it really works

In the meantime I gained my Imperator trait the honest way:) And I really do not know why I did not get this trait after victorious battle where the oods were 1:2 against me.... Maybe there was too small number of troops per side, or because it was defensive battle on river crossing?

I think, in general, you get the Imperator trait much easier whilst auto resolving than fighting it yourself.

Wait! You get the Imperator trait. Then go to Rome for your triumph?!?

Holy Crap, I thought you had to receive a message that you received a triumph. Don't I feel dumb.

That's what I thought. But I'm waiting for someone to actually confirm that. I suppose I'll ship my FM with the Imperator Trait back to Rome asap and try to find out.
