Question on traits

[Didz]

Do you guys know why do I have a 16 old family member who despises Carthagenians who have been extinguished 50 years ago?

Thats because his mother kept leaving him in the care of a Carthegenian nurse made when he was young and her obnoxious daughter refused to let him play with her pigtails.

Also how is it possible that my superior commander still has a doubtful courage vice. He came of age with it, but I built him up to be a good general. It'd make more sence if vices and vertues appear and disappear depending on what you do.

That might be because of the yellow stain that appears on his toga everytime he is forced to stand up for himself.

I just discovered that I misread the question. The character came of age long after the Carthaginians were exterminated. In that case, there are two possibilities: either he got it from his father, or he decided he hated the Carthaginians based on history lessons from before he was 16 (presumably). The former possibility is vastly more likely, assuming his father did either hate or fear Carthaginians:

As for Doubtful Courage, there's unfortunately no way to get rid of it (I think). The Coward trait inexplicably has a NoGoingBackLevel of 2, which is exactly the threshold of Doubtful Courage. Unless a NoGoingBackLevel does something unintuitive, that means you're stuck. Most NoGoingBackLevels are higher. If you want to raise the level, go to data\export_descr_character_traits.txt, search for "trait coward", and edit the line that says "NoGoingBackLevel 2." Setting it to 6 or 8 (Craven Coward and Ruled by Fear, respectively) would be more reasonable, or you could delete it altogether.
