Traits of Roman Generals

[Ravenic]

better since they then are accepted on their merits rather than birth.

Not most of the joker's I see as Romans. One thing the EB team should really consider is finding a way to up to the numbers of Partrician's vs. Plebian's that come up for adoption. Right now I think the ratio is about 4:6 in Pleb's favor, when it should be more 9:1 in Patrician's favor. If at all possible, also make adoption candidates slightly more...meritable? Most of them suck just as much as any other faction's random adoptee candidates, or the stoners all my daughter's bring home in my Epeiros campaign.

Of course, that may all be impossible to influence in the slightest due to hardcoding and what not. If that's the case, too bad :( I think it should then be considered to increase fertility at least a little. Afterall, noble houses didn't just die out after one guy got Consul or what have you.
