That will be tweaked, he definitely shouldn't be getting stats like that so easily.

Ranika forced us to make Barae an uber-general, under threat of ancient Celtic torture implements.

when roman generals gain the vanquisher trait, it says something along the lines of troops being able to declare their general imperator and gain a triumph in rome, has anyone's general achieved this yet? and if so how much does it take?

Funny you should ask...

I would definitely love to see someone take screenshots of their progress towards a triumph versus any faction!

Hehe, one of my Epirote generals, Helenus, was a total disapointment rotting in Taras with nothing but negative traits...

until, he got married that is...

His wife gave him a trait that gave him 1 influence point, and where that took him...

He is now my faction heir (I'll try to get a screenie)

Great job traiters

Yes, Barae is amazing. My only problem was that in my campaign he was killed in the very first battle against the neighbouring city! Along with his brother Sentata. They were both boggled in the mass of humanity while trying to plow through the enemy ranks.

So, here I was left with his 60+ year old brother Margorix as the only family member with two young boys who would not be ready for years to come. To my amazement, despite his old age, Margo lived for another 8 years, conquering the entire British Isles for me, including Ireland. I am looking for a screenshot of his, but not sure if I ever kept one. He exceeded Barae in his stats, becoming Margorix the Conqueror close to the end of his life. Sadly, he perished quietly while on his triumphant march back home from Ireland at the age of 75 or 74, but not before adopting three successful commanders, who took over from him the task of governing the realm. In the recognition of Margorix efforts, I have allowed his veterans to go back home to their wifes.

Bah, enough with this Braeus character. My prized possession is my current faction leader in my KH campaign, the highly talented Akrotatos.

Liberator of both Olympias and Delphi, plus a crapload of awesome traits to boost. This man is amazing. (Though he tends to get sick every winter. But then again, don't we all.) Though I don't really get why he only has 1 command star, when he has won major battle after major battle without a single loss.

A good story!

Amazing! On the command stars, the way to get more is to fight difficult battles, win or lose. You may see that he has a trait "Likes Easy Battles" which means the odds are usually in his favour (the bar between the general's portraits on the prebattle scroll).
