Nah, it's just like it was back then. You get a basket full of family members, most of them will have more bad qualities than good but just occasionally you'll get one that comes along who is a real good Samaritan, good in all fields. Decent commander, good management and happy people and good influence. I usually get 1 per generation when i play as the Romans, unfortunately you can't do everything with him at once so you have to make that decision.
It makes it interesting though, they're an incredibly fun faction to play as.
One other thing though, when you send your generals for training or schooling in Rome, whatever you want to call it, make sure there is already someone there who is governor. You get more and better traits and retinues for that person if he is in the city but NOT the governor.
Not sure why, but that's the way the cookies crumble in this game.
