actually, i figured it out. there are a bunch of unique one-time retinue that occur with high probability (80%). So after sitting my gens for one turn, those are the guys I'm getting.

well, just had this 16 year old who just matured "naked" a turn before earn all these "decorations" in a single turn spent in a city with scriptorium:

Numerius Caepio (16 year old)

TRAITS:
Heartless Ruler
Abstenious
Draughtsman
Fruitful
Sharp
Understanding of Strategy
Gloomy
Bloody
Political Animal

RETINUES:
Archimedes
Quintus Ennius
Appollonius of Rhodes
Geographer
Chirurgeon
Priest of Ceres

Some of the vices were canceling out, but in the end he had command 4, management 4, influence 4. Not bad for a 16 year old...

How is that for a "burst"?

Are these the named people like Archimedes? Or do they also include general characters that are unique per city/limited to one per academy, etc.?

I find the acadamies etc boost management a lot more than anything else
Has anyone else found this?

Named people. in the example above of the super 16 year old, the first 3 are unique retinue. There's a list of them in export_descr_ancillaries.txt

here's the first 1 from the list

Training ships where there are temples to neptune will give you quite a few good admirals as scipii or if you take a Scipii province with the temple in it.
