Can anyone confirm or deny this?
I´ve also seen generals starting with a base of 5 acumen. i think i can remember it only occured when i restarted a faction after the first few turns because i had forgotten to switch to auto taxes and all my provinces routed.

so it´s perhaps kind of help from the ai for unable rulers
