Why aren't we talking about this??

You sure about that? I know I've had at least two battles with two armies involved, at least one of which contained more than one family member, which crashed my game when returning to the campaign map but didn't if I autoresolved.

If I was "sure about that", I wouldn't have used phrases like "theoretically" and "I believe". However, I've personally never seen a family member who wasn't leading the battle acquire traits as a result of the battle. If you can post screen shots proving otherwise, please do.

I'll keep an eye out next time I play EB; but it seems likely that traits such as 'scarred' would be awarded whether a general is in charge or not.
