ROFLOL! Some times it seems that all you get are evil traits from the V&V.

No matter what precautions that are taken you can end up with bad traits. You will never convince me that V&V if not bugged is just to handicap any success a faction has.

I have been tempted to just march all my generals off a cliff like lemmings and adopt a new crop. No matter how virtuous I try to make them by buildings and so on they all turn into Royally Extravagant, Adulterous lumps of fertilizer.

I never cheat and I use all of the rules to denture this but it still happens in every game.
