Heya @Gaming Rambles thanks for the shoutout, great video! Super clear, helpful and well explained, and funny!
Re: Defender/Impenetretrable Wall trait, I'd recommend you finish this of after your one man doomstack is nearly complete (It's easier to get enemies to attack you as a single Lord because they think you are weak).

[katiexxii]

Fun Fact: To my knowledge, Kairos Fateweaver is the only Legendary Lord capable of aquiring his own defeat trait, because he fights a copy of himself in his quest battle.

[trolltalwar]

This is why they should probably just allow a lord to have unlimited traits. Theres already so many ways for your lords and armies to become completely over powered unstoppable doomstacks that in the long run... does it really matter if you have more than 40 active traits?

[monsieurm]

Litetally had no idea these traits are inactive cause once you start one you're locked in. Makes sense though but really frustrating

[detectivecotton]

I had no idea there was a maximum amount of traits a lord could have, If your playing single player I don’t see any reason of not having unlimited traits unless it just breaks the game. Or maybe some kind of trait management like darkest dungeon or a simplified trait system

[cheesus]

+5 leadership while under siege. Wow. So, while my troops are starving they are at least confident

[CommanderBohn]

There are also those traits on certain lords that do literally nothing or are supposed to be some kind of secret trait. Removed one of those once from Karl and it removed the word Emperor from him.
There should be something like that you can get all traits, but you can swap them any time for other traits.

[arcadius]

They should just turn those leadership traits into an army wide banner you can equip. If you have scored victory against a race many times before, give the banner to the army which will be fighting that same race.

3:40: It's also a war crime to excecute your captives though. I'm evil, but I believe in the rule of law, thank you.

2 things I’ve always hated about CA’s design choice in this game:

1. Racial defeat traits are stupid
2. For the love of all that is holy LET ME RESPEC CONFEDERATED LEGENDARY LORDS

[CarlosDiaz-jebg]

The problem is the cap. If they didn't have a cap on traits then it wouldn't matter

[Grivehn]

Much appriciated topic, well-explained too! Wish there was greater perception on this so CA would do something about it. Hope this video goes a long way towards that. Not a programmer, but I dont understand why they couldnt raise the cap, or straight up remove it altogether. Then this wouldnt be so much of an issue, or no issue at all.

This is a very important PSA for any Total Warhammer fan.

[torquevonthorne]

Would be useful a mechanic to remove useless traits. If the player owns the Shrine of Asuryan he should be able to purge his lords and delete them, at the cost of have to stop for a turn.

[IAmMrGreat]

It'd be nice if they just combined the defeat race traits into one. Either by just starting out with a trait that gets the added bonuses as you achieve them or by combining the traits into just +5 leadership once you get like 5 or 10 of the traits.
Could maybe do the same for the LL traits, when you mouse over it just lists the benefits but with a button that gives you a list of the lords you defeated maybe?
Probably never going to happen, but it'd be nice.

I miss when Ramblo had a mustache, now I can’t even look at him.

[trashcanRadroach]

I love this, with Enticity gone ive been dying for some obscure mechanic being explained in a short video.

[clyax]

This is the first time I've ever heard of Inactive Traits. I am just starting out to learn the game, but I didn't find this anywhere. This is nuts. I think I'll mod this out. No shame.

[timscott]

i have nearly a thousand hours in this game and did not know that inactive traits existed. thank you.
