It´s just my observation, and i haven´t undertaken long time studies, actually, but the loyality feature seems to affect two things:
1. Your "disloyal" generals tend to become "treacherous" quite fast; if such a general is in a town with some kind of loyality building ( temples, mostly ) this will slow down this effect
2. Sons coming of age tend to be rather loyal in their primary characteristics, and i think the adopted generals do, too.

Interesting, I didn't know that. It's probably not the result of the loyalty-bonus, though. The triggers that modify character traits respond to the buildings themselves, not their effects. The team must have added a loyalty-boosting trigger for these temples.

Well, in vanilla, Eb or any other mod, if my memory serves me right, children coming of age in settlements with even the slightest sign of corrupion ( insuffitient law ) tend to become flexible, financially irregular etc. This is not absolute, of course, but i always try to let them come of age somewhere in the core provinces. Also ( the turn before the birth ):
- retraining/training of units often causes superstitious trait
- if a temple is beeing built in the settlement, the young man will almost for sure become some religious trait ( reverent, devot )
- buildng an academy lead oft to atheistic traits ( especially if the temple in the town doesn´t match the town size )
- when enough public health buildings are present, particullary sewers and public baths ( depending on the town size, again ), a young men tends to be rather charismatic
etc. etc.
These aren´t the only factors, but if they do not contradict with EB random character creation, they seem to affect the youth coming of age.
Btw: i seem to have figured out what causes the "wellcoming to the foreigners" trait! I hate it, actually, a lot, and the reason is quite simple: building auxilla barracks ( especially if the factional barracks are underdeveloped ), leads to this nasty freakin´trait :(
All my Baktrian FM became that one, after a couple of turns they spent in the towns conquered from Seleucids ( since you can use their "eastern greek" buildings, except the factional barracks, and they love to build them up to the highest level, i used to keep them ). Those who stayed in towns where i´ve destroyed the auxilla buildings right after conquest ( eastern culture = useless for Baktrians ), all became "distrusts outsiders" trait. That is why all my client rulers, if i bother to recruite one, wellcome foreigners most of the time!
