Do Academies improve barbarian generals ?

[Maldini]

Thanks Monkwarroir, its been hard finding an answer to this one

are there any other ways to improve the management skills of barbarian leaders?

Create your own traits;)

It would be possible simply by editing export_descr_ancillaries.txt (in Data folder).
This is the entry of one of those ancillaries associated to the academic building:

;------------------------------------------
Ancillary librarian
    Image scribe_ancillary.tga
    ExcludedAncillaries actor, comedian
    ExcludeCultures barbarian, nomad
    Description librarian_desc
    EffectsDescription librarian_effects_desc
    Effect Influence  1 
    Effect Management  1

If you eliminate the whole line

    ExcludeCultures barbarian, nomad

the ancillary could be assigned to a barbarian general in a settlement with an academy.

You can look for all the triggers where the academy is needed, see if the ancillary has something to do with management, influence or whatever, and do the same thing with them.

But if you try this system, please keep a backup copy of your original file.
