Diseases as a possible set of traits in EB II

[Jolt]

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

[Owen Glyndwr]

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...)

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
