Introduction[]
Formula for determining whether you roll a negative or positive trait chance - [(moral bonus for food variety) -70] /10
(Your current moral bonus for food supplied to your troops, minus seventy, divided by ten)
Positive number means chance for positive trait gain. Negative number means chance for negative trait gain.
Find your Food Variety moral bonus by clicking Reports/Personal Reports/Troop Moral Reports/Food Variety
Note: some negative traits can still be gained even with a positive number. One example is the trait "Rude," which is gained by having too much alcohol in your inventory once you reach a certain class level. This one is hard to avoid since your troops often need alcohol in order to keep gaining other positive traits and prevent you from gaining negative ones.
