Just wanted to point out, Tarkus, that your general is going to need a third star as well - the list of required traits for the Marian reforms lists "more than 2 command."

hmm...it really sucks because it seems like most of my family members are patricians. Then there's the fact that I've already got a family member who has all the required traits EXCEPT popularis! hmm...maybe I'll just cheat to give him the popularis trait. Would that be workable and/or honorable? -M
