It all sounds a bit complicated & tedious to me - I've never been one much for swapping ancillaries around, good or bad. But then again I won't be consul for a long time so I won't be doing all that micro-management. And its a little bit too much like cheesey powergaming for my liking.

Apart from things like the turncoats & chirudgeons, which I agree should be sent to where they are needed.

I especially don't like (5), having bad traits & ancillaries are half the fun for me, especially when role-playing. I mean c'mon, who doesn't love the Actor and Comedian ancillaries? Francius Howardus is one of my favourite parts of the game ~:D
