the Harsh, the Mad, the Mighty, Victor

Great generals have been given names depending on their skill in War. My general became Herius Victor from Herius the Mighty. What I want to know is, what's the highest name a general can get?

There are all sorts of epithets. Have a look in the home/data/export_descr_character_traits.txt file for a list. "the Mighty" is the top of the Commanders list (+5 stars). There are many others, like "the Cunning" for reaching the top level of ambushing (Exceptional Ambusher - +3), or "the Attacker" for attacking (Heroic Attacker - +5). I suppose another useful one would be Legendary Warlord, which gives you the title of "the Great", with +4 to command and +4 to law.

My best general who won many battles (6 of them were marked on map!) was named " The Infantryman" at the end of his military career. Closer to his 60's I "pensioned" him and made him the governor of one of my cities. After few years in town he became "The Orator".

You must have won a number of crushing victories with 80%+ infantry.

Yes, and he (me?

) has "Infantry Commander of Genius" trait.

I've got "Bolon the Mad". I cant kill him with an assassin and attacking a Scipii army of 600 by himself just killed off his bodyguard with him escaping.

I've had second thoughts about trying to kill him off though and may use him to recruit mercs and kill off small bands of bandits (which may improve his terrible ratings).

I've had a bunch of 'conquerers' and a 4 star admiral but I cant think of his epithet.

If you use alot of assassins, you get "the murderer" tacked on.

Both my main main generals in my julii campain (where I use basically 100% infantry) have 'infantry commander of genius' or 'superb infantry commander' or something.

Both *used* to be called "The infantryman" but then one guy won another victory (he has 5 crossed swords victories piled up in one tiny region of gaul now :P) and his last name is now.. gaeticulus or something like that.

Anyone know what that means?

All I know is that it appears to be a cognomen, a nickname (or personal name), like Ceasar.

My faction leaders usually end up being called "the Killer."

**metatron** · 10-16-2004, 00:12

^Err, yeah that.

**Szun** · 10-16-2004, 02:04

I had 1 govenor with the name "the liar" lol

**LordKhaine** · 10-16-2004, 04:27

All of my best generals have ended up with "the mighty". One faction leader went through two other titles before being finally called "the mighty"

Best title I've seen so far was "the mean". That just made me giggle.

It basically means he made the Gauls his [female dogs]. Scipio the Younger was later named Scipio Africanus by the Senate after he beat the snot out of Carthage (I think it was Carthage, but maybe Numidia).
