    Methinks many prefers ancillaries for offices, I like for example the system of Long Road for M2TW.
    and maybe instead of factional offices one common governor for each factions would be time saving but I prefer factional titles as you did in current for the local titles I like.
    but I do not know which one you decide, I think I will add crown offices, like ewenbed, (Eran)spahbeh, archistretegos, It will need same module you used now. So If you keep your module you do me a great favour to mod. If you you decide to add the offices local or crown (dynastic) that I used in my mod or extra ones as well, I never accepted my mode is completed, I will admit my mission for my mod is over.

    P.S. I will be really very happy if you add the offices that I used with my mod for EB2, and of course you can change the triggers or any of my codes whatever you want to change.

    I think the team agrees that office or goverment system of the factions should be represented it may be via ancillaries or traits.

    AFAIK One of the main benefits Ancillaries used to have is that there are global triggers to check if a certain ancillary is in use somewhere already. So you can limit the number of Proconsuls Of Sicilia to 1 at a time. However, with M2TW you can just as easily set a (global) counter which means that for all intents and purposes: queueing up a maximum number of ancillaries with things that are unique to one given general at any time is a much worse proposition from efficiency P.O.V. You're (not you personally, whomever-used-ancillaries) using expensive resources when there are cheap ones available. Thus the question is: are ancillaries worth their cost (a personal decision) ?

    Now the swapping of ancillaries is sadly limited: a person may have only 8 ancillaries and in the rich hunting grounds of useless retinue a general (especially governors) get to that limit pretty quickly (it has on more than 1 occasion ruined my plans for transferring control of Satrapies...). So if you can exchange traits via script now... We get again the same cheap-v.s.-expensive implementation of the feature. Of course you have a genuine trade-off here: swapping traits is not directly drag/drop built into the system as swapping ancillaries is, so you get the overhead of having to carry your own UI of sorts (advice threads).

    Of course, conceptually there is a difference between a trait and a office. Then again, there is a difference between retinue and office as well.

    I agree with your words but a simply solve full candidates with rookie generals or FM I mostly I give rookie FM poet/magi etc. and give the military offices to sharp/charismatic/vigorous ones.

    but methinks many may have tendency for ancillaries for offices because of the seal or banner namely image of ancillary.

    I must confess that RTW exes is more suitable for my mod.

    BTW I am sure you will solve it until the release phase of EB2.
    These days I am missing "the scrolls of mtw" the first ancillary system of CA. you could give the offices just by dropping the scrolls and to strip send an emissary and punish the corrupted generals.
    I still claim that mtw AI was much better than RTW series.

    P.S. I forgot to say modding ancillaries is easier and safer than modding traits. That is why I gave up modding you client ruler system then I started to mod ancillaries.
