    Smile Ancillaries / Traits / Titles

    Title says it all:
    post your traits and ancillaries with desired effect. Titles , condecorations, and useful characters can be included, as many other things, from objects to land estates.

    I will update this first post with the list to keep them all visible and in the same place.

    Here are a few to get the ball rolling:

    Grande de España (spain,title): This man´s family is one of the few chosen among the chosen. The highest nobility of Spain. Their riches in some occasions surpass the king´s own, and they can wear head dress in the king´s presence.

    +2 influence, +1 management, +2 morale.

    Vilain (all, social): This man is not of noble origin, and that is known by the people around him.

    -2 influence, -1 management, -2 morale.


    Duelist (all, trait): This man´s inclination of defending his honour are seen as excessively fierce even by the standards of the most purists.

    +1 influence, -1 morale.


    Inquisitor (catholics, ancilla): (this one DOES add to unrest): An inquisitor is a man whos mission is to erradicate evil. By any means. He might be a useful man to have, but a dangerous one too.
    + 3 law, + 5 unrest.

    Monk (all except muslims, ancilla): A man of God, who spent most of his life in a monastery and now belongs to a court of a powerful man and takes care of the paperwork.

    +1 law, +2 influence.

    EDIT: EC´s religious agents:

    Bishop - The clergy can be perceived by masses as spoilt and corrupted, but none can question their influence over those who rule.

    Archbishop - A support of that man can be valuable, but risky in these times of religious turmoil.
    + 2 influence
    + 2 unrest
    + 3 law

    + 3 influence
    + 3 unrest
    + 5 law
    + 1 management

    Jesuit Priest - Jesuits are great scholars and administrators. Their religious believes, however, provoke those of different views.
    + 1 unrest
    + 5 law
    + 1 management

    Protestant Preacher - While such men preach about damnation and the need for every man to live righteously to be worth the afterlife in Heaven, the commerce flourishes as men work more efficient inspired by faith.
    + 2 trade income
    + 1 unrest
    + 5 law

    And some other ideas for ancillaries:

    Sarmata (for Poland only)
    Polish nobles used to consider themselves as better than the nobility of other nations. While such ideas could give popularity, they were not valued by the wise.

    - 1 influence

    Zagonczyk (for Poland only-well not really but I'm not sure what would be its Russian, Turkish etc. etc. name)
    Before a battle starts, some particularly brave riders provoke the enemy soldiers to fight. Some of them become famous and boost the morale of their fellow companions.

    + 1 morale

    Tatar Prisoner (for eastern european factions but not Tatars and Turks;should be assign as 'turncoat' type ancillary)
    A reminder of a once won battle.

    Tatar Servant

    If treated properly,a captured enemy can sometime become a very loyal servant. Still, there can be some who see him firstly as an infidel.
