Rome Total War 2 General Traits

To be honest my main concern when picking general traits is the political situation at the time. A subreddit for the Total War strategy game series, made by Creative Assembly. Discussions, strategies, stories, crude cave-drawings, and more for Medieval 2, Empire, Shogun 2, Rome 2, Attila, Thrones of Britannia, Warhammer, Three Kingdoms. First things first. If you're looking for a Rome:Total War fan site, or discussion board, or forum, or even worse, a crack or cheats, you've come to the wrong place. Neither is there anything on Medieval Total War or Shogun Total War. All this page is, is a collection of Excel and Adobe Acrobat files that summarise generals' traits and ancillaries.

Hello all,
I recently went throught the export_descr_character_traits file and nitpicked all the various traits that would be of value to people who use the give_trait cheat and haven't been able to find the necessary full list of traits online. I just figured I'd drop this off, if it helps you great, if not feel free to call me a lazy stinking cheater

Gerald from Pooh's RTW Trait and Ancillary Database has agreed to let us host his files that detail all the Traits and Ancillaries in Rome: Total War. We'll try to keep up with the updates he makes but you'll always find the most recent version at his site.

Rome 2 Total War General Traits

You can download the zip that contains all the files and a read-me here.

And of course, why and who would want to use the files? I'll quote Gerald himself on this:

Rome Total War General Traits

Who should use these files? Certainly not the newbie, or the beginner to the game. These files are for those who have questions like: 'Is Austere a good or bad trait to have?'

'Which is better for my general - to stay in a city, or to walk around the wilderness?'
'Which is better for my general - to stay in a city with city plumbing, or with a governor's house?'
'Does my governor get a trait increase if I build a market, academy, or a port?'
'Does the temple of Bacchus, Ceres, or Jupiter produce better traits and ancillaries?'
'How do I get an oracle or mathematician?'

The data in the files has already been processed, calculated and sorted. You won't find information like 'What is the effect of a level in GoodCommander' - for questions like that, you will have to open up export_descr_character_traits.txt and look for it directly. Granted, I have included some descriptions and information, but bewarned - a lot of it is summarised, which explains why you will see numbers like 'Command : +0.6 / level' - in order to make meaningful comparisons, a single weighted number has to be used. You will find more details in the readme*.txt files if you're inclined.
