Puh-lease. Don't be naive:

1. Count on the antitraits being fixed in 1.2
2. Way to exploit the game engine to do things you shouldn't be able to do. [/SARCASM]
3. How exactly do you make 1 point of strategychivalry negate the master of assassins and spymaster traits? Can you do magic??? They're not anti-traits of strategychivalry, so certainly not like that. If you've maxed both, it's -4 to your Chivalry, which you cannot make up with 1 point of anything.
4. Others were right to question this post, it's full of bad information. Continued use of spies and especially assassins will end up netting your leader StrategyDread points again. Spies give 5% chance of 1 point every time they complete a mission successfully, and assassins give 50% chance of 1 point when they have a successful mission. Assassins even give a 25% chance when they FAIL the mission! And those points have nothing to do with the Master trait lines at all.
