A dozen questions to EB

[Aemilius Paulus]

5. You get that when you have a relatively high influence and management general stuck in a Large Town or smaller. So he feels like he is unappreciated because his abilities do not match his task. To fix this, either build something in a settlement, which is a temporary fix, or send him to a small city or larger, which is a permanent fix.

9. That actually depends on two things, on the contrary of what CA Putt said. First of all, yes you are right, once you pass that 50,000 threshold, you'll start getting more of those traits. However, that has comparatively little effect. What really gives them those traits, is what Ca Putt said actually: that they governa city. If they spend ten or more turns in a small city or larger, you can bet they'll get those traits, which will grow even worse the longer you stay in the city. You can even get those traits in a Large Town, but you'll have to spend forever sitting there - like one of my FMs, who spent 20 years in a Large Town before getting the sumptuous trait. The Wealthy trait is affected by whether your general enslaved cities or whether he stays in a small city or larger. Looting, however, does not affect open-handed, extravagant, or sumptuous traits..

10. The Seleukids get them because they were a huge empire, one that could afford the high cost of the TAB's armour & weapons, training, upkeep and etc. The Vasci and Ebherni were just a minor tribe who had a few of those units as chieftain's personal guard. The Syrians (Seleukids) could afford to keep 10,00 TABs at one point. So the EB team felt that the Vasci and Ebherni had too few of those units for them to be represented. You can still mod the availability of the units, which is what I have done. PM me if you want to know how.
