i'm a big fan of the new v&v/family tree system my favourite character ever produced was Doros the Mad, at age 16 he was a military genius, prim, a good defender and a good management vice, he also hooted.
It was the hooting that was his downfall, it seemed to get worse the more battles he won too. I was the greeks and by his 30th birthday (and maybe almost as many battles) he was not only a bomb general. He also spent hours every night drowning spiders in vinegar. By age 45 he was painting his bottom blue. :(
still he was by far and away my best general and i used him in practically every battle... till he got the plague that is.
ps:- i'm still hoping CA adds a tombstone feature(as previously posted by a poster who's name i cna't remember sorry), ie being able to mousever dead family members and see their old stats as i feel it would add some continutiy to the game. I don't know it would have been cool for me to be able to compare Doros's traits to some of his grandchildren further into the game.
