Ok, you got really lucky that time. I almost never SEE 5 acumen governors (much less get 4 of them). The only ones with 5 acumen are more are either princes or heroes.

Did they have a lot of virtues/vices or did they just start out at 5 acumen? I have a sneaking suspicion that the game hardcodes non-royals/nonheroes at 4 acumen or less base stat unless they have a good virtue/vice.

Can anyone confirm or deny this?
