    Nah, I'm not a perfectionist, but when u feel u get too many FMs, just pack your old and useless FM into one ship, and try to provoke those AS, Karthadast, or Ptolies Navy..... It was called asshipinssation

    EDIT: I only used them when playing as ....... u guest....
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    1) Romani (they stab their own brother's back afterall
    2) Kart - Hadast (they have a custom to execute their incompetent general... wait, for this Faction, I only kill useless FMs, not the old...
    3) U can guess KH..... I drowned all FM's that is useless and neither Spartan nor Athenian

    Cardiopulmonary Necrosis would be a nice disease to have in the Classical Times.

    Leprosy, don't forget Leprosy!! (Albeit, I imagine leprosy would a virtual death sentence socially/politically, regardless of class...not to mention a literal death sentence later on)

    Also, I haven't read too deeply into the traits, but is stuttering included? Remember Emperor Claudius was a stutterer if I do recall correctly. That could definitely affect you Management skills. It would be entertaining trying to keep your degenerate FMs out and away from any sort of political life (As if some players don't do that enough as it is...)
    "You must know, then, that there are two methods of fight, the one by law, the other by force: the first method is that of men, the second of beasts; but as the first method is often insufficient, one must have recourse to the second. It is therefore necessary for a prince to know well how to use both the beast and the man.
    -Niccolo Machiavelli

    Isn't stuttering quite rare, though? Iirc like a per cent of people are thought to suffer from stuttering... Also, should it be included, it should rather affect influence than management, as both Claudius and, say, Churchill did manage ( ;o ) their roles quite well in spite of stuttering, Claudius conquering Britain, annexed several provinces into the empire, build a good deal of public works and was a quite capable administrator. As to Churchill, well, his achievements (at least primary ones) are probably known to everyone.

    Also, while this all could be fun with a larger realm with plentiful FMs, it could severely affect smaller factions - if all your three FMs are gloomdy, inbred, stammering, bedridden characters suffering from leprosy...

    EB (read: Total War series) could use a touch of Crusader Kings in that regard... 8D
