Is there a 'Barcid' trait for people like Hamiclar? I ask because I have a general Hasdrubal who is 'Anti-Barcid', and the latter would be strange without the former.
οἵη περ φύλλων γενεὴ τοίη δὲ καὶ ἀνδρῶν.
Even as are the generations of leaves, such are the lives of men.

Of course.
What is the Barcid trait and what did Hamilcar Barca mean then?
Barca is an epithet meaning "lightning" or something close to it.
The Barcids, which became a sort of group with Hamilcar as a figurehead wanted to expand Carthage's power throughout the West Mediterranean while the Anti-Barcids opposed that and consolidate control over Africa. It's all described in the traits.
