Hi there i would like some tips so that to play better in EB.

1) What is the best choice to do to a conquered settlement?

2) Is it better for me to refrain troop movements in winter?

3) Does a Heroic victory help in gaining better traits/retinue? i challenge myself in battles by purposely making my invading armies fewer in Vh/Vh.

4) How come Very confident troops go down to confident troops even when in Roma?

5) What are the best trait(s) a Roman can get or i should hope to get?

6) I noticed that some of my family members had the pessimistic trait and it describes it can lead to depression what does this mean? what should i be doing to prevent something going bad?

7) Can Loyalty go down? if so how? if does go down how can it be increased?

8) I noticed Command Stars are harder to gain than in vanilla.. does this mean i have to constantly engage in battles?

Thanks very much in advance! i might ask some more questions in the future but for now i would really like to know the answers to these questions of mine.
