    Default Traits, ancillaries and titles - Gathering some ideas

    I know it might be a bit early to start thinking about these things, but I think it couldn't hurt to start throwing ideas. Hope Bwian and co don't mind ;)
    While they might appear secondary, I think they're really important in order to catch a warhammer feeling, and overall, to make the game more fun and exciting, aswell as looking really polished.

    So, I'll start by throwing my own ideas, and more precisely ideas for my favorite faction : the Bretonnians

    Obviously, bretonnians should have specific traits that would be related to their carreer as knights.
    Basically, as they perform their duties and serve the lady of the Lake, they should have access to higher ranks in the knightly hierarchy.

    Most characters would start as Errant Knights. As such, they wouldn't be allowed to get any governor-like trait and ancillaries, no titles, etc, but would eventually get a bonus to moral (as errant knights as known to be willing to face the biggest threat possible to prove their bravery).
    To achieve the title of Knight of the Realm, they would have to achieve various yet simple objectives : winning a few battles here and there for example.

    Knights of the realms would lose their moral bonus, but would have access to governor, land-owner and other management titles, traits and ancillaries.

    From now on, a few character, fulfilling some conditions (determined by other traits if possible), would become Knights of the Quest. As such, they would lose all of their governor traits (once again !), but be rewarded by battle-oriented stats (more moral, possibly more hitpoints, etc.)

    Finally, by performing extraordinary tasks, a few chosen characters among the few knights of the quest would become Grail Knights. These tasks should be really hard to achieve, defeating huge armies against all odds, fighting far away from Bretonnia (don't know if coding that is possible, I doubt so), and things like that. Once they've become Grail Knights, they would be allowed to get back their management trait aswell as their battle traits, and possibly get more bonus (afterall, Grail Knight are among the most powerful human beings).
