How do we get the leader traits?

[Bugnr01]

The most of them are clear but Im suspicious about some of them.

• Old Gurad: ??? (maybe just set from the beginning)

Generals:

• Trickster: ??? (fighting with recon companies in the divisions or divisions with high recon ability?)
  
• Winter Specialist: fighting during winter in ice and snow
  
• Engineer: attacking across rivers
  
• Fortress Buster: attacking forts
  
• Panzer Leader: fighting with tanks in the divisions
  
• Commando: ??? (fighting with logistic companies in the divisions or divisions with low supply?)
• Desert Fox: fighting in deserts
  
• Swamp Snake: fighting in swamps (yes its called swamp fox but i like snake more)
  
• Mountaineer: fighting in mountains
  
• Hill Fighter: fighting in hills
  
• Jungle Rat: fighting in jungles
  
• Ranger: fighting in forests
  
• Urban Assault: fighting in citys
  
• Naval Invader: ??? (perform naval landings?)

Field Marshals:

• Logistics Wizard: ??? (fighting with logistic companies in the divisions or divisions with low supply or well supplyed divisions?)
• Offensive Doctrine: ??? (attacking a lot?)
  
• Defensive Doctrine: ??? (defending a lot?)
  
• Fast Planner: ??? (plan and accomplish a lot of battleplans or fighting with signal companies in the divisions?)
  
• Throrough Planner: ??? (plan and a lot of battleplans and wiat till the preperation is finiched?)
• Organisational commander: ??? (fight with signal companies in the divisions or preform several reinforcements?)
  
• Inspirational commander: ??? no idea

Is it possible to get some traits while training or just in combat. It would make sense to get some experience for the enviroment based traits from generals like Desert Fox or winter Secialist during training in the repective enviroments or Panzer Leader while training tanks.

I will update the list if i get more information.

think you got most of the Generals. Trickster used to be with tanks

Old Guard used to definitely be at game start. No idea for the Field Marshal traits

Just a thought that could be cool-
Training- when command of training gain so xp of trait. So training units posited in urban start to get some Urban trait xp.

Trickster used to be with tanks

I cant remember how it was in HOI3 but i think Trickster is more about fast units than about tanks itself (we have with the Tank Leader an dedicated tank trait and i dont think there are two of them).
So it seems to me its more conected to the fast Mot, Mech and Larm brigates with there high speed and recon ability than to tanks, especially Harm and SHarm makes less sence here.

Ah you are sort of right ! I need to fire up 3 again. Seriously, all this HoI talk is giving me a big itch

Trickster used to be more for top tier battle events, right?

Jeb, Trickster was about battle events in HOI3 and it seems to be the same in HOI4.
