Thread: Some questions

  1. #1

    Default Some questions

    1. In my Epeiros campaign I have found that:
    a. the stars an admiral has don't show up during a battle (when they would be very useful)
    b. enemy generals seem to have 6 stars but no traits or ancillaries that give them command stars
    c. after some disaster at sea all ships lost a lot of movement points. Is there anything that can be done to reverse this? One more disaster and my ships will not be able to move at all.

    2. What causes the "Uncomfortable Supervisor" trait and what can be done about it?

    b) this is EBs way of making the battles harder
    2) this trait appears if you have a general that enyois being in a city, and you use him on campaigns an vice versa

    correct, but the "uncomfortable supervisor" only appears if the guy doesnt like being a governor. if he likes being a governor, then he wont get that trait, he would get the opposite. to reverse it, send him to battle!

    Yeah, but i think it's kinda buggy.... I think that a few of my governors had the attuned governor and uncomfortable supervisor traits... it doesn't make much sense

    For the 'Uncomfortable Supervisor' trait to go away, place your governor in a city with at least the Minor City level, IIRC.

    yes- for a- there may be a counter trait that may have canceled out the stars

    Uncomfortable supervisor is one of the two subtraits (the other is Happy Supervisor) of the Supervisor trait, which is gained by governing for very long without stretching the legs or battling. Uncomfortable Supervisor is caused by governing small settlements, and is alleviated by moving to a greater city or building something. Battles can't do anything to help an uncomfortable supervisor, on the contrary it will fortify his unhappiness.

    Conversely, if you spend a lot of time campaigning you will get the Warmonger trait, which also has happy and unhappy subtraits. That one gets happy by fighting and unhappy by being stuck in a boring city with the rest of the people who only talk about things instead of actually doing them.

    Question c:
    That is the flood bug, which is the main reason flood events come deactivated (though happen rarely, randomly). When a flood hits a province, it will cut the movement in that province in half. For some reason, there is a bug (in the RTW engine) that makes that penalty permanent.

    You can try deleting the map.rwm and loading the game (which some say has fixed this bug), but most likely your movement penalty is permanent for the rest of your campaign.

    I have a new question:

    I read yesterday here on the forum that having a very large treasury can give bad traits to generals. Can somebody explain exactly what happens because I have the habit of having lots of Mnai (3 000 000 in my Epeiros campaign)

    I think in vanilla having over 50000 in your treasury at the end of a turn led to greed and corruption traits in generals, I have never noticed it in EB though.

    Yes, there are several traits that make your characters corrupt when you are rich.
