Vices & Virtues details wanted

[Dragon]

I have been searching the web for some time now (including this forum), but I am still looking for a full list of the V&V WITH THEIR TRIGGER.

I know there are some (maybe even complete) lists of the V&V's, but nowhere can I read the causes for these.

Example:
If you kill all the rebels (ringleader AND peasants), your king gets "Scant mercy" (or am I confusing something ??), giving +1 dread.

You get this other virtue for +1 dread if you kill prisoners in battle once.

You get "Good runner" (-3 morale) if your general's unit breaks in battle once.

etc etc ...

Is there a complete list like this ?
I know the escalation of the V&V I listed, but there are still many others where I lack hard facts, for axample:

How do you become "good attacker/defender" ? My generals win every battle, in offense and defence, but don't get it.

Thanks for any info in advance.

[Dragon]

Am I really the only one who would like this information ?

This (and not knowing about ranged weapons) is really bothering me, so any information would be highly appreciated ...


PLEASE ?????

[John Geeshu]

Yes you're the only one, sorry.

[Arkatreides]

I doubt that you are the only one, but none of us has that info

[DaCount]

Perhaps it's even better we don't know to much about the triggers, it is much more nice to just play the way you want and be suprised by what V&V's you get (and have a good laugh about it).
But it seems you want to build the perfect general, which is hardly how things go in reality.

But one hint i can give you. Have some battles against an army much larger then yours and you can get some nice attacking V&V for it (if you win ofcourse).

[navyweathertech]

Here ya go. This is an old post from SattP from August 8th. And no your not the only one who wants to know this info. Its a little messy but hey, I didnt write it. Enjoy.

"All Americans pledge allegiance. A select few actually show it."

This doesn't explain how a general actually gets these virtues and vices, or how to prevent certain ones.

I think there may be such a list in the strategy guide, but I don't have a copy so I can't say for sure.

[AcePylut]

Exactly how do you get the V&V "Crazed Loon".... which my spanish king currently has.

He think is parents were elephants.

[Chromebender]

Well it seems you get the Lazy vice if your princes sit at the capitol too long without doing anything.

My Emperor got a vice that lowered his command but vastly lowered his chance to route when he was captured and imprisoned once.

One of my generals became 'Dead Drunk'... perhaps I let him sit too long in a province with a tavern?

[Jo_Beare]

I suppose that your general is an adulterer if he sits in the brothel too long.

Thank for the list.

I notice that some I've seen very often, but there are some I've never seen before.

[Bob the Insane]

Interesting to see all the unused agent V&Vs...

They would have been fun...

[Rosacrux]

I think that besides the battle (and killing off rebels etc.) related V&Vs, the rest are probably random.

Maybe they are hardcoded into certain lines or factions, maybe ...dunno, beats me. But when your heir grows up to become "dead drunk" at the age of 15, I don't think your actions have had anything to do with it.

[candidgamera]

one of the appendices for the Brady Games guide has all these listed - one of its good features.
