I was thinking yesterday about the "supply" system. So far, I only managed to get -3 morale when campaigning far from my own territory. I thought, why not after the -3 to the morale, units start losing-say 15% of the ir strength per turn. After all you can't fight if you haven't eaten in a month...

Not possible.

Couldn't you add a few more Hellenic traits, eg Soter, Megas, Theos, Euergetes, Poliorketes, etc. Though I guess something like that is harder to trigger. Rats.

Yeah, I'm just way behind right now on the already proposed Hellenic traits.

If somebody could write up a description and what the general has to do to get them, I can have Teleklos go over them. If he likes them, I'll add them to my ever-growing to-do list.

I'll start with some quick descriptions, as I don't really know what sorta triggers you could use.
Soter, Historically, rulers might be acclaimed with the title of Soter, or Savior, after rescuing those under his authority from a grave danger, such as the Galatian invasion, or for regaining a key city or region that had been lost.

Possible triggers: Defeating several enemy armies in your territory in quick succession, regaining a home territory that had been lost

Megas, This name was generally only bestowed on the greatest of rulers, and since Alexandros is known as Megas, any ruler who is also given this title is thereby identified with Alexandros himself.

Triggers: hmm...gain control of all type 2 areas for your faction? Get 6+ command stars? Conquer a certain number of provinces? Or if you could do different ones for each faction; Seleukids conquering beyond the Indus, Ptolemies or Baktrians taking Babylon; Makedons and Epirotes ?

I'll try Theos, Euergetes, Poliorketes later. Let me know if I'm on the right track with these. Should I include more specific examples of which rulers got these names?

Malrubius,
Haven´t got the time to read through the traits-file, sorry. Have you completely taken away traits like "butcher", "handsome", "coward" etc?
What I personally like is for my characters to gain "names" according to their pesonality. If my general runs from a battle he should be called "xxxx the coward", or something, and he should be able to regain his bravery with a couple of battles where he stands his ground. A general that leads from the front and are very active should gain a "the brave" epiphet and "the tactician" if he uses/ deploys his armies smartly. "Butcher" when massacring pop after pop. "Slavetrader" after enslaving continously. A govenor that builds schools/ libraries could be called "the thinker" or "philosopher". If he constructs roads and mines he could be called "the engineer", ports and trade buildings he could be called "the merchant" etc etc. So more traits that reflects the characters personality is appreciated.
Thx for an othervise great traits system... I actually read through all my c´s traits nowdays, he he! I´ve also found that "rotating" your gov´s through your settlements are the best way to go in EB. With vanilla I mostly gave traits from one C to another. Also the school or learning facilities that is usually found in every factions capitol makes "rotating" gov-ships more effective.

Generals used to get Qonqueror, Vanguisher titles to their name. I have playd many heroic battles and there havent been any kind of those title names.
Have you people removed them?
Btw will u get any trait if you destroy some faction?
