Warmonger

If my General Ever gets this trait and the Sated Warmonger will he able to go back to governing cities well and gain administrative traits? Or is there a way to avoid getting this trait with my Generals or is it inevitable when they are constantly battling?

I had a sated one going back to being restless, so maybe you'll have to keep him fighting...

I got around it by reloading the game and doing the battle over again! :D
I just don't like the trait and seriously after only 4 battles in 7 years my FM gets the warmonger trait

While Scipio who is rampaging the Makedonions destroying 4 full stacks seems to be immune to it Lol

The Supervisor trait is more annoying, imo. I had several governors in small settlements get it and they constantly complained about being in too small a city.

I dont think that'l be a prolblem in my case since in my Romani Campaign i made it a rule that FM's Can only Govern Cities in Mainland Italy or Homeland Provinces which by the time they get the supervisor trait all cities would be fairly Large if not Huge. The Only Exeption being Major Foreign Cities like Athens, Carthage, Alexandria etc which will be Governed Directly by my a FM :p

4 battles in 7 years is not that few as it seems, if they're large enough. Richard the Lionheart only fought 4 major pitched battles in his whole life, and Philip Augustus only 1. Not that I did the counting myself, but I forget from which book I read this.

I should have been more specific then, none of those battles were Large! Far from it! 2 were against Rebells numbering less than 500 in both engagement and the other 2 was against the Averni numbering 800 and 500.

Although I don't know the triggers for the warmonger trait, they probably are dependent on the primary personality traits. An energetic, selfish character is more likely to enjoy war than an indolent but selfless one. Also, remember that you can only see the broad trends of these traits on the character scroll. There are actually six levels for each of the six personality traits.

Also, locker-room talk aside, most people have strong inhibitions against killing another human being. I can't give you a source, but I read that research from the WW2 showed that, in an average unit, most enemy casualties were the work of just 10% of the men. They were the ones that were actively trying to kill their opponents. The remaining 90% would kill when they or their mates were under direct threat, but otherwise fire blindly and avoid lethal confrontation.

Killing is like sex....you can be sated for a while, but inevitably you'll want more later! ;)

please dont tell that to my missus, shes like a rabbit sometimes...
anyway, back on topic...warmonger is a good trait to give to a general who would be in the thick of fighting. Problem i have with it was i had a general get that trait who was fighting defensive battles all the time. Hardly a warmonger!
