Well thanks but I have to point out that it is based to the guide made available by Drone ...
Once I can spare the time, I will modify it slightly in order to:
- add the V&V of initial kings for all areas (and not only for the Early);
- confirm that "Killer Instinct" may be acquired through action - by killing the enemy general in hand-to-hand fight with your own general - but does not improve with the mere passing of time. I had a drinker/hedonist prince who got it after killing an enemy general (a former prince that had turned rebel). Some more testing will be done to see if killing any enemy general is enough or if you need to kill a prince or former prince. I had a few battles where the enemy general was in a peasant units and got killed instantly (thus before routing) when charged by my general but I did not get any V&V on those occasions. Likewise, I will need to make sure that any general can get it and not only princes or former princes.
Regarding the stuff about "Pride", I kind of agree that it seems to be triggered when a building is completed in a province adjacent to another's faction holding but it does not seem to be the only way in which it can be triggered so I would wait until some hard fact have been established to change something. It seems to me though that if I leave my Italian king in Venice, almost all princes that appear when a building is completed in that province will get the "pride" or "secret pride" v&v. I had the same sort of stuff in a Polish campaign during which I got most of Russia. I was building basic upgrades (spearmaker, watchtowers, etc...) almost every turn and almost all of my princes got that V&V.
With "drinker", I dont'know if it has something to do with the fact that you produce an unit in the province but will pay attention next time I play.
Same thing for Eloquent and Educated. Not sure about the church requirement but will look more closely.
Best regards,
