I definately feel the trait gain is way too slow here, I fought my way across all of Africa as Canada, cleared out every last piece of Nazi under every dry rock and haven't gained a single trait. Nothing.

I've got 29% Warscore, which is the highest Warscore within the Allies, and 9% higher than the second on the list, being UK. It doesn't feel too rewarding... The General has 34% towards Infantry Commander after all that.

Based on my one game so far admittedly...it does seem very slow. As Germany I've used Heinz Guderian extensively in both Spain and fighting in China for the Japanese, nothing after a lot of action.

Had a communist China game that ended in 1961 with no train gains for my only Field Marshal and just one level increase. 11 million casualties. It probably needs to be boosted by a factor of 4.

Traits simultaneously seem too slow, and the limit is not enough :p.

I have a general that only fights in mountains. He has yet to gain a skill. I have a field general that I was able to buy two skills and now I can't improve him any further.

Wasn't the trait limit completely removed?

Hmm, not sure I understand this lol.

There was two different limits.

- As soon as you get your 6th trait (any trait) you would stop gaining XP towards your earned traits so it was no longer possible to earn new basic traits. This one is removed
- Every general has assignable traits now. If you meet the prerequisites for traits, you can assign general_level/1 (+1 for FM) traits to your general by spending command power. This is still in

Aha, now that makes sense. Thanks.

You want to maximize your troops and combat situations to achieve the traits you want. The incremental beta patch was broken. I got the invader trait after one sea invasion. Became an expert in about 5 weeks. Italy shouldn't be able to get multiple Infantry/mountaineer/hills leaders in the Ethiopian war.

Also i think the bonuses should be scaling. at the moment they all of a sudden have an epiphany which makes the motorized infantry become 15% better.
