Imperator

[mighty_rome]

No, he never had more than 11 or 12 units in his army. He's been causing trouble in northern Africa with a small group of veterans for about 5 years now.

Do you play with "Large" unit sizes? (82 men in a Camillan Triarii unit) I just wonder if unit size has something to do with it. I rarely encounter armies much larger than about 500 men with "large" unit sizes... I wonder if that's an issue here.

(here's his current army)

[Zaknafien]

yes, I am in fact currently playing on Large.

Yeah I looked at that briefly, I remember seeing it was based on "BattlePoints" but I didn't look too deeply into it. I guess I'll look around and try to figure out whats going on.

Faction Type Seleucid?

And I would assume that "BattlePoints" is a measurement of how many battles the general has fought (the whole Green-Blooded-Veteran-etc. scale), but I don't know what I'm talking about.

Cheers.

Faction Type Seleucid?

Faction type seleucid is used for the Romani in EB.

[Bellum]

I don't know the syntax properly, but (and this is assuming battle points is the number of battles fought) it doesn't look to me like having 5 battle points would make any more difference than having 3. After every battle, you'd have a 1/100th chance of getting the trait.

Affects Imperator 1 Chance 100
doesn't mean 1/100 chance of getting it, should be 100% chance of getting Imperator 1 (as opposed to Imperator 0)

[mighty_rome]

After skimming over the script it doesn't really seem possible that I couldn't have received the trait.. I don't get it. In fact, it seems that the norm should be what happened to you; most generals apparently should receive it after a relatively short string of victories.

As I understand it, when you win a string of victories you gain more and more battle points, so gaining the Imperator trait should be 100% guaranteed according to the code you showed. I guess I should have had a dozen guys receive it by now, but I haven't had one. I've had many generals with the "Veteran" or "Seen the Elephant" trait and who have never lost a battle.

Something else must be going on here. I'd like to see what's been happening to other people playing as Romani.
