How does it work? What I have found is that certain traits outweigh each other. For example:
Impulsive against Dislikes Impulse = Accepts Impulsiveness
Zeal against Wary Of Zeal = Admires Zeal
Intelligence against Wary Of Intelligence = Admires Intelligence
Two good traits outweigh one Bad one. For example:
Zhou Tai: Accepts Impulsiveness, Focuses On Duty, Focuses On Family, Disregards Sociability
And a more developed Gao Shun
Gao Shun: Admires Zeal, Respects Discipline, Dislikes Carelessness, Opposes Criminality, Resents Patience, Resents Caution, Loathes Vanity, Loathes Drunkenness, Loathes Gluttony, Focuses On Duty, Values Sociability, Commends Trustworthiness
(added Honest to him)
They will either overcome their difference or just cancel out, leaving them unable to oppose or agree with one another.
Now say we gave Impeccable to one and Scarred to the other. In this case, then they would oppose every move the other makes. Also adding that when I found it out, Zhou Tai had Energetic, so three cannot outweigh two.
Also, the game never lets you expect what traits any character will get next. Example:
Zhuge Liang: Energetic. Absolutely no Tranquill, even though he is a Strategist.
Zhou Tai: Disciplinarian. Just how.
Also Zhou Tai: Trustworthy. Again, how.
Sun Ce: Cordial. This automatically adds Is Diplomatic when concerning harmony and disharmony.
Jia Xu: Honest. He’s already Deceitful.
Sun Jian: Philanthropic. I don’t know how he gets this, but it automatically puts him in check with Cheng Pu (despite it being one bad trait against THREE).
Again, Sun Jian: Artful. This put him at odds with Liu Bei, which is not a good thing when he serves in your court.
Again, Sun Jian: Direct. This was after I attempted to get Disciplinarian to fix the stat, despite knowing it would put him at odds with Zhou Tai (my favorite character in this game), and surprisingly, this didn’t bring an X to his relations with Cheng Pu.
And that’s all I have for the first entry in this quest to make guides for 190 factions. This mechanic ruined a lot of early runs because the people I surrounded him with would turn against each other immediately. However, give it time, and suddenly, Sun Jian will become the most Philanthropic, Liu Chong will be the Cruel one, Lu Bu will become Kind, and Liu Zhang will become Brilliant, which already is brilliant.
