    It's funny really, because when I have a general like that he usually just becomes a 'restless warmonger', which I think is quite funny. I don't think I've ever had a 'battle weary' trait.

    That trait is common among Pessimist and Selfish generals that fight a lot of battles.

    Pessimist all right, but selfish?

    Would a selfish general care if more than 25% of his army dies in a battle?

    Thanks for the quick answer. I believe I'll remove the trait from my characther. After all he has cracked the Ptolemei armies, having conquered all their cities except the one west of alexandria that will be kept there as a safe frontier with the kardts.

    Regards.

    Of course I meant Unselfish. I Keep forgetting that the trait is Selflessness.

    My guess is, that said general does not want to risk his life. What good is gold to a dead man?

    Well if you had fought over 50 battles and seiges and seen tens of hundreds of people die, I'm sure you would get tired of it too.
    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.'

    Depends, really. If you're a good Roman, chances are in favor of being very proud of your achivements (not to mention wealth beyond your wildest dreams) and looking forward to achieving immortality with all the statues and stuff in your honor.

    The various "barbarians" would doubtless merely be so swollen with pride their feet barely touched the ground anymore...
    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."
