Being named imperator?

[Imperator of rome]

Having a problem...I have a general that has owned the Getai so many times I can't count,does anyone know how to get the imperator trait?

[Imperator of rome]

Nevermind..I knew what the problem was....automating the battles isn't a good idea when you want to win a heroic victory,lol I'm gonna fight and win a heroic myself instead of letting the general win 4-8 heroics in a row.

They are major battles, right? Minor skirmishes don't count towards Imperator.

Yep,I would call fighting 4 2000-3000 macedonian armies major battles lol.Anyway I solved the problem,my general has been named imperator twice and atm I'm taking a break off the Romani to try out one of my favorite factions Carthage^^.

Let me guess: they started making more powerful armies so the odds were against you?

[Imperator of rome]

At first the Getai declared war on me,the Getai had large stacks too and I stoped them every time,soon after I got the polybian reforms.Makedon attacked me and now I'm massing by making more legions(plan to make four)but I need more leadership.My best general isn't even roman,hes Thracian or getai and basically he has wiped the floor with Makedon and Getai but after exterminating two towns and taking more of Epirus for Rome,hes depressed and dying.Im probably gonna let him rot in Rome and get a new general at the front.He deserves the title Imperator and his last name is Dacicius or something like that I forgot.I'll probably continue later when I'm interested in playing with the romans.
