    Post A Trait Suggestion for a Future Release

    Hello all,
    Sorry to be such a suggesting and annoying, foolish idiot, but I was just thinking about the EB base traits system. I can't help noticing that a general is either, putting it very bluntly, thick or highly intelligent, good with people or awful with them etc. So I was going to suggest that you have something in between. For example a general could have "average intelligence", "average charisma" etc. I know that it probably would take lots of work, but it would take away the gap between either having a "good" trait or a "bad" trait general by providing something in between.
    I hope this can be implemented, and Merry Christmas ,

    Actually, there are six levels of intelligence, six levels of charisma, six levels of loyalty, and so on. The trait list only shows the broad trends.

    What Ludens said. Not only we have 6 levels for each attribute, the triggers make extensive use of them. We just chose to not let you know their precise values.

    The point is you shouldn't know those things right off the bat. It takes time to figure out just how smart or dull some fellow is.

    Like it better as it is. After meeting someone you can tell if they are smart or not, but can tell you if they are a "run of the mill" smart guy or an Einstein? Sometimes maybe, but not all the times.
    I shouldn't have to live in a world where all the good points are horrible ones.

    Is he hurt? Everybody asks that. Nobody ever says, 'What a mess! I hope the doctor is not emotionally harmed by having to deal with it.'

    But it might add more immersion if the intelligence and other traits of the character were revealed. Maybe saying sharp/intelligent/genius, making it more apparent if you have an alexandros reborn or just a guy who knows good tax rates, and being able to make use of his god born gift rather than flinging him to some useless settlement. It would also make us less reluctant to accept "dull" people into the family if we actually knew how dull they were.
