    Default Your favourite traits & ancillaries

    In response to Excalibur Bane's thread dissing the traits, I thought I'd start a thread praising on of my favourite parts of the game.

    Gotta say I'm a big fan of the Comedian - or Frankius Howerdius as I like to call him

    And the actor always makes me chuckle "actor? no sir, I am a thespian!" Gotta love those luvvies
    "I request permanent reassignment to the Gallic frontier. Nay, I demand reassignment. Perhaps it is improper to say so, but I refuse to fight against the Greeks or Macedonians any more. Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."

    Vandal Warlord.

    Eagles Collector.

    Superior Commander.

    Good Cavalry Commander.

    Everything I get is always about Command though.. How do you manage to grab Influence and Management 0-o
    "Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much."

    Dunno about my favorite good one (I like so many) but the worst one by far has to "Scares small children". It gives you -5 influence and -1 to public order!

    A number of the more creative entries caught my eye. Remembering off hand, I really liked the "Glorious Fool" trait, especially in pre-battle speeches.

    The best trait for a son to have when he comes of age is Sharp, it gives + 1 command, + 1 influence, + 1 Managment. Good start for whatever you want the little fella to be.

    National Hero : +20% People popularity +4 Morale of troops

    Virtus : +3 Influence +15% Senate popularity
