How do you gain a Positive Management?

[jrutnet]

I have notice that some of the traits are handed down from one generation to another. So, if I really get a bad 16 yr old or 18 yr old, I march them straight into battle and get rid of them. But, if they win, they become decent generals. Also, passing some of the retinues from one to another helps. So, there is a couple of ways of straightening out your hiers. If worst comes to worst, they have to be sacrificed in battle. Gives the family a good name.

Interesting. I have to check this out .

Actually you can just look at it in the DATA files (Activision\data\export_descr_character_traits)

That's everything you need. Study and change at your leisure. It is, in fact, one of the best place to cheat the game if you wish so. (Not necessarily.)

No, no academy trait benefits (I modded in some skills in myself; it's unreasonable not to have so.)

Too Big treasury or too luxurious cities (with some high-end non-military buildings involved.) result in bad people. I usually mod them out even if it's a cheat.

Some traits are passed down, yes. With about 20 chance each.

There is a ton of triggers that provides your new characters "different personality" when reach 16 that, how sad, usually bad. (Bad : Good Traits about 3:2)

Many traits rank up over time on their own (you have the original from birth, triggers, or daddy's gift.) You may born a small poet and become epic over time. (That is not good )

Sitting around town suffers too. Better let them kill the rebels. (Even if they won't gain the stars.)

Never, ever build temples of love and drink.. the results are.. horrible.

Of all temples I think the Parthian one is the best. It gives no negative traits. Many temples are good, though.

There is a deadly trigger about badtaxman (Useless Assessor - familiar?) I erased it for good. If you don't want to cheat, set the taxes at high or more all the time to avoid it.(except in a few circumstances.) This happens when you build any building with tax less than high (8-15% I can't remember.)

Some farmer and trader troubles. You need more experts or just cheat and erased them out like me.

There are other issues and bugs with several traits, refer to somebody else wiser than me.
