After glancing at the trait triggers for the Retrofit Mod, it seems that there's a bit of a dilemma with BattleChivalry and BattleDread.

Affects Bloodthirsty 1 Chance 10

A "neutral" general without chivalry or dread gets over 8 kills in a battle and he has a 50/50 shot of gaining either trait. Is there a way to start a character on the desired path without resorting to mods, cheats, or having to quicksave and auto-calc an easy battle until you get the desired result?

I've gotten a bit bored with the battles and want to try and focus more on the RPG aspect of managing my family tree, but this is a bit of a stumbling block for me. I'd greatly appreciate any help on the matter.
