Thread: A little trait request

  1. #1

    Default A little trait request

    I'm not sure if this classifies as bug but here's the request.
    Some factions have the "hates clever-clever greeks" trait for members that fights against greek factions.
    Here's the problem:
    often the FM with the trait has also the "hellene" or "xx-hellenic" trait, making the combination a bit silly imho.

    Is there any chance that someone could look into the matter?
    The best is yet to come.

    This is because Greeks often were not on good terms with some other Greeks. There were lots of battles between different city-states, for instance.

    IMHO, there's no contradition, as:

    - there are West- & East Greeks: Epiros, KH and Makedonia & AS, BAKTRIA and the Ptolemaioi.
    - even if a "Hellene" of, say, the AS gets this traits, he finds the Greeks of either the West or East (minus his own faction) too "clever-clever".
    - think of the limitations of the engine/game/code/what-ever: this is a way to give you FM/General a bonus when fighting against an ennemy faction. How else should it be expressed? And think of the similar traits "Hates Romans" or "Hates Easterners" (spelling ??).

    Yours, T.

    Edit: had forgotten Baktria

    Towards the end of the book, the Moties quote an old story from Herodotus:

    "Once there was a thief who was to be executed. As he was taken away he made a bargain with the king: In one year he would teach the king's favorite horse to sing hymns."
    "The other prisoners watched the thief singing to the horse and laughed. 'You will not succeed,' they told him. 'No one can.' To which the thief replied, 'I have a year, and who knows what will happen in that time. The king might die. The horse might die. I might die. And perhaps the horse will learn to sing.'"

    Whilst I aggree with bovi, I feel that maybe renaming the trait would at lest make it seem less ridiculous?

    Maybe hates philosophers?

    Or something non race specific so these contradictions don't arrise?

    Just my humble little idea
