Is there such thing as "the Coward". I thought I saw something like that from a Gallic general. If there is something like that, my guess is it comes from running from a lot of battles.
I've had many of the traits listed above, btut never the Great. I've had the Conqueror a lot. I als oremember I had these two brothers at he same time, they were ''The Brave" and "The Victor", they pretty much conquered all off spain and Gaul together. I laso remember a general of mine who had he's name changed in game. He went from Amulius Tiberius? to Amulius Victor. Never had a title, just had his name changed instead. That was the first time I had seen that effect.

Kiya (starting field general for Egypt) went on to become Kiya the Great, Kiya the Conqueror, Kiya the Bloody. He had many traits. Best general/faction leader I've had.
You had Kiya become your main starting general? Interesting. I used Khnumhoptep (or something), who was the starting heir. Kiya was Khnumhoptep's backup. I guess whoever your main starting Egyptian general is, they automatically become awesome because Khnumhoptep lived to be 80 and conquered significant portions of the Seleucids, Armenia, and Parthia.

My Spy Hanno Alalia just spotted 'Publius the Mean'. For being 'Foul mouthed' perhaps ?
He is the SPQR faction leader in the Carthage game we are playing in the PbM section of this forum.
My spy earned +1 spy skill for finding him. Seemed a neat result for spotting such a prime target.

That's nothing. My Kiya led the campaign that expanded the Ptolemaic Empire's borders to the Caspian Sea and later into the Aegean. He died aged 87 (possibly 89?) just after taking Athens.
Touché, Craterus.
If I ever play as Egypt again (highly unlikely, since I have a lineup of factions and then M2TW comes out), I shall steer Kiya to glory.
Speaking about "the great" title. Who else thinks pompey should not be called pompey the great?? His cogmen was 'magnus' which in latin was the great. The problem was, he called himself that. A person's nickname should be what someone else calls him, not what he calls himself.
And yes, iv seen the great title in RTW.

Victor is a title. The Romans have
cognomons (nick names), Victor means Victorius. The equivelant of "Conqerer" I expect.

I have a general who's title is Secundus "The Good". Anyone know how I got this? He used to be "The Victor".

I think it has something to do with the benevolent ruler trait.
