There's a file in the campmap/name directory called Default_Heroes, that lists the heroes in the game for each faction. Do not edit the file and save it unless you know what you are doing.

In addition to being quite interesting reading (there is one guy listed who is famous for sticking a red hot poker up the king's bum - i swear it is in there!) the file lists game characters that will appear in certain years. Some of these guys arrive with virtues - the high valor spy or the educated general.

You can use this info (some consider this cheesy, and I have to admit feeling a little cheddary myself here) to figure out when a general with high acumen virtues will appear.

Knowing this, you can then give him a couple of good acumen-providing titles, and you start to get a really high acumen guv.

Some folks probably wont be able to resist modding the game to cough up numerate guvs.
