Gaining traits

[Wilsonrtf]

Cesare Borgia, the famous bastard son of Pope Alexander VI and a valorous and cunning commander, is supposed to have died leading an assault against a rebel fortress in Navarra, when none of the men under his command followed him. So he ran into the breach all alone. Yikes! (at least that's how he dies in Mario Puzzo's The Family, about the Borgias)

Puzzo's borgian kind of intrigue and, err, "family relations", would make a great mod.

We could also talk about traits that need to be reconsidered for CK2. The trait that I hated the most in CK1 was 'stressed': it embodied frustration, unhappiness, and so forth, and could lead to depression, schizophrenia, and other antisocial conditions. Events did exist to remove it, but it was not uncommon for a character to stay stressed for a decade or more, until finally killing himself (and I don't think suicide was that common in this period).

anything Machiavellian would be great

I've thought of it myself, a mod based on Machiavelli's principles. An official Renaissance expansion would be cool, too.
